Topic: Abstract auth method for PunBB

What about giving to punBB the ability to authenticate against a remote punBB (and, later, against anything similar like LDAP)?
I think it could be a cool (and light) feat that can open a lot of ways.

Being more pratical I think there is a need of using an abstract authenticate($login, $password) function in the code.
First this function will have inside the same code that we can found now in login.php
Then this function could be overwritten by future mods to incorporate other auth methods (like the remote one or LDAP).

P.S.: Where is the CVS or the SubSeven?

Re: Abstract auth method for PunBB

Well, since you could still rely on cookies for session based authentication, it should basically be a matter of rewriting check_cookie().
