Hm, I guess that's kinda cool that it was really that easy :)
I just checked out someone elses config file which already had the stuff
done, and so I just needed to change the MySQL statements around a bit.
In case anyone is wondering, this is what I have:
begin authenticators
plain_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_condition = ${lookup mysql{SELECT '1' FROM users WHERE
CONCAT(user, '@', host) = '${quote_mysql:$2}' AND
pass = '${quote_mysql:$3}'} {yes}{no}}
server_set_id = $2
fixed_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
server_condition = ${lookup mysql{SELECT '1' FROM users WHERE
CONCAT(user, '@', host) = '${quote_mysql:$1}' AND
pass = '${quote_mysql:$2}'} {yes}{no}}
server_set_id = $1
People who have a database where the domain name and usernames are separated
may appreciate this one, since it uses the lovely CONCAT function to test
for a match (I never thought I could even use it like that, but it works!).
Thanks,
Eli.

You mean the setup was that simple for you?

Yes.

Once authenticated, he relays. That's it.
