Mmmh. Writing such a daemon seems like inventing the wheel once more: why not instead trying out simon's ldapauxprop plugin for SASL and authenticate from all machines against a remote LDAP server (or MySQL, what you like)? (not that everyone should like LDAP very much but when there already _exist_ networked user databases, why adding one more that does not at the same time have some enhanced functionality - or has it?) But if it is easy, quick done work, having a sasldb via network available sounds quite nice..... Just my .02c, Birger
