Retiring mod_auth_pam, mod_auth_shadow, etc.

[Philip Prindeville]

Hi.

Looking for reviewers (below) for a couple of trivial packages.

I was trying to use mod_auth_pam on EPEL and Fedora but without much luck. It seems that it's obsolete, and in any case doesn't support the new authz and authn APIs.

I found:

http://code.google.com/p/mod-auth-external/

and packaged it for Fedora and EPEL, and am using it with CentOS 6.1 with success.

Looking for someone to review the package combination (you need pwauth with mod_authnz_external).

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=813594
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=813564

Looking for reviewers for both so we have an alternative to mod_auth_shadow and mod_auth_pam when they're deprecated.

Both packages are trivial.

Mod_authnz_external builds on Apache 2.4.

And pwauth is easy enough to test by hand (it also requires no configuration).

I've been using the config file (with the comments removed) on an SVN server and it works well.
