Here we go, folks

[Justin Hibbits]

Now, the time I've been trying to bring for the last 2 years:  What  
do we want, what are our goals, and what do we need to obtain them?

Here's what I know so far:

- Object system (no files, just objects with forks, or whatever) --  
have to flesh the behavior of this out.
- authd is a 'trusted' application, it has the following purposes:
   - Spawn 'init'
   - Spawn session login manager
   - Spawn authentication handlers
   - Spawn session manager
   - Handle authentication and spawning processes under other users
   - Shutdown the system

   - authd doesn't use or know about named objects (URI-types), and  
should never know, for security reasons.

- I think we should break libSystem into two parts: libSystem and  
libUser, to provide core system interfaces and user-only interfaces.

Now, we need to decide the following things:
- What do we want?
- How do we get there?

Specifically:
- What does LSD provide, and consume?
- How does the system start up?
- How does a user session work?
- What do we provide to users to get their work done?


That is all,
- Justin
