Hi Ian,

Due to the mesh structure of the network and unreliable/limited access
to remote servers, I suspect that the OLPC environment is strongly P2P
shaped, with some client-server services, where "local" servers are
significantly better than remote servers.

So any auth scheme will have to work in this P2P + distributed servers scenario.

Very likely. Have you seen sugar's demo UIs?

Ivan was indicating D-Bus for local RPC.
