Rubin suggested a modular system which would enable all of everyone's 
proposed electronic access systems; I think we should do this and make 
it stupid-simple (as in, the front gate is already wired and done).

Authentication modules can grant access, and see when other modules are 
granting access.

If you want to log when your iButton/RFID/USB/bluetooth/etc  key is 
used, that is a job for the authentication module which reads it. All 
other modules can (if they want) log the event without specific details.

Jeffery suggested a module which would provide a dbus interface. Someone 
else wanted PAM. Rubin's solution allows for all of the above.
