Creating an authentication system.
The PEAR::Auth package provides methods for creating an authentication
system using PHP.
Currently it supports the following storage containers to read/write
the login data:
* All databases supported by the PEAR database layer
* Plaintext files
* LDAP servers

* This release fixes a bug that caused some files of PEAR::Auth to be
installed in wrong places. Everyone who has installed version 1.1.0
is urged to update to this version!
Following is a list of changes in version 1.1.0. We are including this
list here because the changelog entries were not displayed properly in
the previous release:
* Silenced some warnings when working with "error_reporting(E_ALL);"
and fixed two bugs.
* Don't update idletime after the authentification session has expired.
* Allow setting session ID in assignData(). This becomes handy when
using Auth_HTTP. (Patch by Marko Karppinen, <karppinen@pobox.com>)
* Added optional setLoginCallback() and setLogoutCallback() methods.
(Patch by Marko Karppinen, <karppinen@pobox.com>)
* Added method setIdle() that complements to setExpire().
(Patch by Marko Karppinen, <karppinen@pobox.com>)
* Added new methods setAuthData() and getAuthData() that allow to write
and read additional data into/from the session pool.
* Improved internal handling of session variables.
* Instead of sticking to md5 as the password encryption method, one
can now choose between standard Unix DES-based encryption algorithm,
md5 hashing and using plain text passwords. Please note that the
last option is a security risk and shouldn't be used unless you
*really* now what you are doing.
* Database storage container: Only open connection to SQL server if it
is really necessary. This speeds up the whole process in a lot of
situations.
