It would be fairly easy to integrate SELinux users and LDAP.  We have
suggested people in the past to store this data in LDAP and then use
tools, perhaps in a cron job to extract the data and update the seusers
file.  But the problem comes down to, how do you do seusers per machine?

My account on my laptop should be staff_u but my account on
people.fedoraproject.org or people.redhat.com should be guest_u.  As an
example.

IPA is supposed to address this by adding Machine Identity.  We had some
discussion on having sssd handle some of this also at LinuxCon.
