Maybe a little bit unrelated, but: for which kinds of logins do you  
use OPIE? SSH or generic OS logins are obvious places to use it, but I  
am more interested in other uses. I already use it in wordpress, but I  
still search a way to use it for IMAP (there seems to be a protocol  
enhancement for it, but I didn't find an implementation so far),  
gallery2 and ejabberd (if xmpp allows something like this) without the  
need to let them use system users (e.g. the IMAP user/pw are currently  
in MySQL, the xmpp users are in the ejabberd internal DB, ...).

Anyone with ideas regarding this?

It would also be nice to hear other possibilities where OPIE can be  
used (snmp auth?).

Bye,
Alexander,
