[SETUP] - Using Unix Users and Groups for Trac Authentication

[Christian Holtje <docwhat+list.trac (at) gerf.org>]

Since we're bandying around various solutions:

I wrote a mod_python auth handler that uses either PAM or MailMan to
authenticate people.

That allows my mailman people to automatically be authenticated in trac. ^_^

Warning: This is really crappy code at the moment...it evolved as I
learned PAM, but it does work and the PAM rules hinder dictionary
attacks like it would via SSH or SSL Telnet:
