MySQL authentication options

2004-03-16 Thread Etienne Goyer
Hi,

I had been doing some research about authenticating user against a MySQL
database, and from what I can see the only option is via PAM through
saslauthd.  Is this correct, or there are other way to do it ?

Thanks !

Nope -- you can compile SASL with direct mysql support and skip PAM
entirely.  We use it that way.
