DESCRIPTION

    This perl module is designed to work with mod_perl2 and the Net::NIS
    module by Rik Haris (rik.harris@fulcrum.com.au).  Version 0.13 of
    Apache::AuthenNIS was renamed and modified to use mod_perl2.  That
    module was a direct adaptation of Michael Parker's
    (parker@austx.tandem.com) Apache::AuthenSmb module.

    The module uses Net::NIS::yp_match to retrieve the "passwd" entry from
    the passwd.byname map, using the supplied username as the search key. 
    It then uses crypt() to verify that the supplied password matches the
    retrieved hashed password.
