Better use lib2apache-mod-authnz-external

Use the system users and groups for web authentication? Via PAM? Why is a simple thing so awkward and not directly supported by Apache?

Here is a critical essay describing PAM authentication via mod_authnz_external and pwauth. One has to compile pwauth on Ubuntu, though. I didn't test PAM but just went with /etc/shadow.
