Hello,

I've made some minor changes to authenticate method using UNIX
username/password, 
either from local passwd files or other source stated in nsswitch.conf.  The
new
method can be used by changing the userPassword field to something like this:

userPassword: {EXT}username

where the password of "username" will be used for authentication.

For your information.
Thanks,
Rgds,
ST Wong
