[Pam-mysql-general] Hello & patch for basic failover

[Patrick H. <pa...@pa...>]

Hello,

First of all, thanks for taking the time to make this publicly available. 

I work at an ISP that's coming up on various unix hard limits, so we've 
been using pam_mysql to accomplish our remote authentication needs, and
hacking mysql support into other applications (not much hacking, actually,
most of the daemons we use have mysql support hacked into them). 

I noticed that in 0.4.7 there isn't any support for failover if the main
mysql authentication database is down (other than the local database), so
I added a "host1" option to the module. Give it a whirl, any comments,
feedback would be appreciated. 


Thanks,
patrick.
