Thread-topic: Authentication HOWTO
Hi all,

I've taken an initial crack at writing up the PCP
authentication story so far, as a user might care
to see it (i.e., doesn't cover PMDA internals and
so on).

Please review - any/all feedback much appreciated!
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/pcp-gui.git/man/html/lab.auth.html

Both the saslauthd and Kerberos writeups are more
based on my understanding of how these pieces will
work - I have not yet attempted a Kerberos setup,
and the saslauthd is always denying my attempts to
login!  (/var/log/messages keeps a nice record and
it sure looks like the right bits are arriving as
I'd expect ... anyway, remains a mystery for now).

If you have more success with either of these parts,
or even have a go and can report how things fared
for you, I'm keen to hear all about that too.  Use
latest dev branch code if you do try, of course.

cheers.
