pwcheck is a daemon, distributed by CMU's Cyrus IMAPd implementation, that
allows reasonably secure password authentication by *non-root* users...it
does this by taking a userid/passwd from the user, and returning, effectively,
a 'yes' or 'no' answer...so, if not, the client doesn't see what the actual
'encrypted' string looks like...

Drawback to this authentication method, at this time, is the requirement to
have the pwcheck daemon running on your system, which means at least downloading
and compiling it in the IMAPd package...am working on somehow getting it
bundled seperately...

This doesn't work yet, just starting to add it in...
