Subject: wikiwiki  and authentication

Looking a ruwiki (and others) it seems there is a great range of wikis 
to choose from, but they all seem to lack one problem. There doesn't 
seem to be any information floating around about how to extend any of 
these to use different authentication methods. I'm intending to deploy 
a wiki at work. This seems to be a great opportunity to get ruby in by 
the side door, however, to do this it will need to be able to 
authenticate off the existing domain server. This could be done using 
either via samba or pam. Having no wish to re-invent the wheel, has 
anyone tried this in the past?
