[Auth]Re: Question about macs

[Mario D . Santana]

Mike,

Answers: yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. =)

What is done: espn.com, yahoo.com
What is planned: the kitchen sink.  Everything your little heart 
desires.  ;-)

Seriously, MACS does exactly what you're asking.  You write a fairly 
simple method adapter and viola!  MACS can now auth against 
sourceforge.  Another and viola!  MACS can now auth against cvs.  
Another and ... well, you get the idea.  These adapters are pretty easy 
to whip up, too.  See lib/MACS/LMA/Yahoo.pm for an example of how to 
build these into the server.  They can also exist independently of the 
server, comm'ing via pipes or sockets.

I'd write another long speech about MACS, but I've got to run and get 
some stuff ready for 0.8...

Cheers!
