Not too convenient from an end user perspective imho. Why not just write the 
metadata to disk and still use a log (like a journaled file system)?

Strace ends with: 

time(NULL)                              = 1063036281
time(NULL)                              = 1063036281
time(NULL)                              = 1063036281
write(2, "Invalid login (RPC2_NOBINDING (F"..., 36Invalid login 
(RPC2_NOBINDING (F)).
) = 36
munmap(0x40014000, 4096)                = 0
semget(1, 4096, IPC_CREAT|IPC_EXCL|IPC_NOWAIT|0x401680c0|0200) = -1 ENOSYS 
(Function not implemented)
_exit(1) 

But maybe I just ill-configured my realm name or something... can I modify my 
realm name somewhere?
