Are there any docs or howtos around on this? We use authentication one one subnet, but it's a bit of a pain. We're not really that concerned to require people to remember passwords, we just want to work out who the user is with a reasonable level of accuracy. Authenticated proxies seem to break various clients so if out-of-band might be an interesting alternative. Gavin
