Personally, I'd say that LDAP auth would be awesome to have in the core -- optionally, of course -- but perhaps the settings.py auth backend might make better example code (perhaps in the "writing auth backends" doc?) since it's actually pretty insecure :) > As far as other backends go, please post them to the wiki for now.

Since this stuff is optional I wouldn't be opposed to including well- written auth backends to services like OpenID in django.contrib.auth... probably worth judging on a case-by-case basis. I'm going to take a crack at this code over the next few days and report back with my findings; I've needed to auth against Unix users for quite a while so this could be a major help...
