It seems to me that the existing USM, SNMP over UDP, and a local user
account would be sufficient as a fallback network management method when
the network is experiencing a meltdown.  Just as you have a local
/etc/passwd file on your UNIX workstations, for those occasions when the
NIS server is unreachable.  I don't think anyone believes that ISMS will
obviate the need for at least one local account on managed entities, to
cover this type of situation.
