IMAP4 and ACAP already use SASL. SMTP will shortly. You're going to
have to install the infrastructure anyway, so you might as well use it.
PAM is an adhoc bunch of gunk. I will take an RFC defined protocol any
day over PAM, just because I want to know that my applications will
be able to authenticate when I need them to. Anointment by Solaris
or Linux does not an IETF standard make.
