    Realname is already a field in /etc/something

    Email is unnecessary, I agree

    Age needs to be more specific because different countrS have different laws when what is legal to access. Yes, this is done by hand now but could be automated. Locally, I insist.

      If it were managed by Kerberos or domain policy I’d be okay with it, but the critical thing is that it’s managed by the system administrator. That let’s parents do parent things, and the rest of us can safely lie.

          I am agreeing with you mostly, except that I am also happy for the domain controller to store the age info, rather than being strictly local.

          The most important thing is that its the device owner doing the verification, not any external third party.
