Hey Mike,
Well, if sasl2 has something that would be nice, like kerberos support,
or hooks into some sort of DCE style enterprise authentication/ 
authoriization
framework, then I can do the port.  I can recommend we do it after the
argus-3.0 release?

One of the things I'ld like to do, is to do user specific filtering,  
so that if
'carter' connects, argus/radium will only give 'carter' the types of  
records
that 'carter' is allowed to have, i.e. records that relate only to  
'carter's
PC.  If sasl2 provides this type of support, then lets do it!!!!
