DESCRIPTION
    A quick fix to allow two otherwise incompatible populations in
    the enterprise (windows users and unix users) authenticated
    access to restricted applications offered via apache.

    Authenticate to an nt domain; failing that, try a nis+ domain.

    Note that this scheme is quite permissive. Either a valid nt
    username/password, or a valid nis+ username/password will allow
    access. This causes double exposure to poorly selected
    passwords.

    The nt part requires the Authen::Smb module. When Authen::Smb
    supports group authentication, I will add it to this module.

    The nis+ part requires the Net::NISPlus module.
