This is Authen::CyrusSASL version 0.01. Authen::CyrusSASL is a Perl 5 module which allows you to authenticate/account usernames from a cyrus-sasl's pwcheck or saslauthen server. See the file 'INSTALL' for installation instructions. See the file 'Changes' for modifications or new additions to the module interface. Type 'perldoc Authen::CyrusSASL' for a quick synopsis of the available methods. There are two types of possible authentication methods with cyrus-sasl authentication interface. In cyrus-sasl v1.5.x there was only pwcheck method available (unconnected socket type - no fork). In v2.x there is new saslauthd daemon - replacement for pwcheck (connected socket type - forking processes). I think the next stage would be connected socket without forking but with threads. Authen::CyrusSASL was developed & tested on Solaris8. Interfacse is based on the Authen::Radius package. Authen::CyrusSASL is (c)2001 Piotr Klaban.
