=head1 REQUIRES

Perl5.004_04, mod_perl 1.15

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<Apache::AuthenPasswdSrv> is a mod_perl Authentication handler that
checks a users credentials against a domain socket server.  The included
server, B<passwd_srv.pl>, checks a username and password against an NIS
database using Net::NIS and ypmatch.  This release is very alpha.  The 
server protocol is not documented and transaction format will change.
The system has been running under light load at my office for about a 
month now, and no problems are know with the current release.

Apache::AuthenPasswdSrv Version 0.01 (Alpha Release)

Written by Jeffrey Hulten (jeffh@premier1.net)

This is version 0.01 of a mod_perl Authentication handler that checks
user credentials (username and password) against a UNIX domain socket
server.  There is a sample server included (passswd_srv.pl) that checks
username and password against an NIS database using Net::NIS and ypmatch.

This release is ALPHA.  The documentation is lacking, the code needs to be 
modularized, but the module and server both run rather well.  

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please email me at 
jeffh@premier1.net.
