    Hey guys, we figured out that we want to authenticate the new
    jabber.org <http://jabber.org>
    website against our existing database of IM users. The db is postgres on
    a different machine from the webserver. We want to make it read-only so
    that Drupal will check credentials against what we have in the IM user
    database (username and password). What is involved in writing a new auth
    module or hacking an existing module?


hook_auth is the function you'll need to
implement: http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_auth/5

There are a variety of external authentication modules you can use as a
template:
* http://drupal.org/project/cas
*  http://drupal.org/project/cosign
* http://drupal.org/project/facebook_auth
* http://drupal.org/project/netforum_authentication
<http://drupal.org/project/netforum_authentication>


Hope that helps!
