Elfyn McBratney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Web Authenticator
System name: wwwauth
Type: non-GNU

Description:
Webauth is a daemon, a library and a set of utilities (and client) for performing 
secure authentication over the Internet and/or network. Webauthd (the daemon) uses a 
simplistic HTTP-like protocol for comminicating with the client for sending 
authentication data (e.g., host, login and password) over the wire, with user 
credentials and daemon/client configuration stored in xml files, by default.

The library itself uses unique MD5 hostname-derived keys for communication which are 
verified when a before each authentication request from the client, with all passwords 
sent encoded.

The library and daemon require libxml2 (from the GNOME project) version 2.5.4 or 
higher. I also plan to add support for MySQL, OpenSSL, PostgreSQL, Berkely DB and 
flatfiles as add-on modules. After a stable release I plan to write Perl and PHP 
extensions to the library.

Other Software Required:
libxml2
mysql
openssl
postgresql
openssl
db4


Other Comments:
I don't currently have the sources available on the net, so if possible I'd like to 
send it via e-mail. It's only ~80K, as only the library has been written (with 
provisions for the rest).
