Virtual Domains and authentication

[Michael Fair]

I've never used pam for virtual domains but the general idea
is that the user provides the fully qualified user at domain.dom
as their userid.  SASL splits that up into a "realm" and a
user so in terms of SASL, creating the user looks something
like this:
saslpasswd -c -U domain.dom userid

I really can't say how this will map to PAM since PAM really
doesn't support the concept of realms (as I understand it).
