##
##  Sample code for the nnrpd Perl authentication hooks.
##
##  This file is loaded when a perl_auth: parameter is reached in
##  readers.conf.  If it defines a sub named authenticate, that
##  function will be called during processing of a perl_auth:
##  parameter. Attributes about the connection are passed to the
##  program in the %attributes global variable.  It should return an
##  array with two elements:
##
##  1) NNTP response code.  Should be one of the codes from %authcodes
##  below to not risk violating the protocol.  
##  2) An error string to be passed to the client (make sure that
##  such a message is properly encoded in UTF-8 so as to comply with the
##  NNTP protocol).
##  Both elements are required.  If there is a problem, nnrpd will die
##  and syslog the exact error.

##  The code below uses a user database based on CDB_File. It is
##  provided here as an example of an authentication script.

##  This file cannot be run as a standalone script, although it would be
##  worthwhile to add some code so that it could so that one could test the
##  results of various authentication and connection queries from the
##  command line.  The #! line at the top is just so that fixscript will
##  work.

# contains, keyed by users, a tab-separated list of the password (in
# crypt format), whether they can post, a wildmat matching what
# newsgroups they have access to, and the number of bytes per second
# they're allowed to use. This section of the code only accesses the
# username and password fields. See the file nnrpd_access.pl for
# access rights based on the other fields.
