I immodestly recommend my auth package, appearing at Rich's whim in
comp.sources.unix. Programs built to work on top of auth can be made
completly independent of the communications mechanism, to the extent
that someone could swap UUCP or NS or whatever versions of authtcp and
attachport for my TCP versions, and the programs wouldn't notice.
