Here's what I did: I took the built in auth system and changed it a bit, or to be more precise I changed all imports within auth (because I moved it within the pythonpath) and edited models.py:
http://dpaste.com/81651/ Whole code: http://www.ojii.ch/auth.tar.gz If you wanna use it: Add the folder in the archive to your pythonpath. Add 'auth' to your installed applications Set 'USER_MODEL' in your settings file to the model you use (string). Done. NOTE: I did NOT test this yet!
