I implemented it while waiting in an airport departure lougne one day, 
it was easy.  However the hard disk died (before I got home) and I lost 
the code but it would be simple to regenerate.  The harder part is 
updating the existing admin tools to understand this field - but the 
people used to sudo wouldn't care since the sudo admin tool is an editor.
