Please add httpd, sendmail/procmail, ftpd and dozens of other
daemons (most of which are not linked to pam, so this change
is certainly not transparent to userland).
Unless somebody volunteers to rewrite those daemons, it may
be best to keep the change transparent.
For logging we could probably use the session ID (can we,
more details on that seem to be in order).
For quota I think we should use the EUID. This is both
transparent and conceptually the "right" thing (if users see
a daemon run with a particular euid, they expect that system
limits are applied to that user).

Rik
