I *just* joined the mpd mailing list five minutes ago (anyone else having
problems sending mail to *@lists.sourceforge.net today?) to find out this
*exact* same thing.

Ideally, I'd like to get MPD authenticating via PAM, and then I can use
pam_winbind to authenticate against a domain.  Any pointers or suggestions
(this looks like it will take a patch or some coding) would be greatly
appreciated.
