A few years back I hacked up a perl chkpassldap.pl script to
authenticate against ldap, and optionally authorize against groups
and/or ldap attributes. This works with both qmail and Dovecot, and it
also supports a somewhat generic method to alter the environment
suitable to use for Dovecot as a prefetch userdb.
Anyway, I have been running the script on a qmail-ldap and Dovecot 1.2
proxying cluster using the stock qmail-ldap attributes without any
troubles, and figured I would finally release it in the thought someone
might find it useful.

I tried to document the ins and outs of userdb configuration. If anyone
finds anything that could use correction or clarification, please let me
know. It has been awhile since I was in the middle of it all.
Cheers,
-Jeff
