r35585 at cain (orig r5864): jayk | 2006-12-16 20:14:41 +0000
Major modifications
* Class::Accessor::Fast now used
* Storename::Backend class naming dropped in favor of simply Storename
* Password modified to remove the password field when requesting user from storage - to avoid mismatches when the storage uses all fields provided in matching
* Removing Wrapper.pm - Not neccessary
* Added user_in_realm method - which is similar to user_exists, except will only return true if the user exists and came from the realm provided
