If you are going to write it up, I would recommend trying to do
a write-up with PAP.  If you can get it working, it is a lot
simpler.  Also, I bet it is slightly faster.  Just IMO.  Any
tutorial is better than no tutorial.  :-)

Does anyone else hate the fact that you have to leave plaintext
passwords sitting on the hard drive to get pap or scripts to
work?  Bugs me.  Granted, I can't figure out a more general
method.  Even if you hash the password (a. la. /etc/passwd)
you still don't win by much..
