SimpleAuthenticator missing in Cassandra 1.0

2011-10-27 Thread RobinUs2
It seems that org.apache.cassandra.auth.SimpleAuthenticator is missing in the
cassandra 1.0 binaries. Is this on purpose or did I found a bug?

From NEWS.txt:

- The SimpleAuthenticator and SimpleAuthority classes have been moved to
  the example directory (and are thus not available from the binary
  distribution). They never provided actual security and in their current
  state are only meant as examples.

Oke, that makes sense, even though I couldn't find it in the first place. 

What would you suggest for authentication? Firewall rules that only allow
from whitelist hosts? Writing a custom Authenticator?
