[ANNOUNCE] Apache-AuthzSplitDomainUser-0.01

The uploaded file

    Apache-AuthzSplitDomainUser-0.01.tar.gz

has entered CPAN as

This module basically pulls the authz handler from Apache::AuthenSmb, so that it can be used with other authentication mechanisms.  (In our case, Apache::AuthNetLDAP) It is the first release, so should be considered beta until more people have beat on it.  At this time, it simply checks the username, from $r->user, for a backslash, as found in DOMAIN\username.  It then allows you to either check the htgroup files with "username", or "DOMAIN\username", for correct authorization.

This namespace is not finalized, but has been applied for.  Thanks to Geoff Y. for the idea for a better name :)
