DESCRIPTION

This Perl module allows authentication against a "password" database -- each entry in the database is indexed by a userid and consists of a "cipher:grouplist" where the cipher is a standard Unix crypt of the user's password. The grouplist is compatible with AuthDBMGroupFile constraints.

The AuthenDBMFile parameter specifies the password database that should be searched.
