I'm curious, does anyone know if Nielsen uses/ever used a Mac? Keychain
which has been part of the Mac OS and integrated with Camino, Safari, mail,
etc for sometime does exactly this:

> For now, at a minimum, "the system" should include everything under a user's

> need to enforce certain privileges for certain users, it should do so
> transparently without the need for additional log-ins.
