mod_pubsub_serverinfo: Warm-up opt-in cache By warming up the cache that contains the opt-in data, the first publication has a better chance of including domain names for remote domains that opt-in. Without this change, those domains are named only after the _second_ publication, which can take a while. New users are likely thrown off by that.

Introduction
============

This module makes Prosody authenticate users against PAM (Linux
Pluggable Authentication Modules)

============

The module depends on [lua-pam](https://github.com/devurandom/lua-pam)
and [LuaPosix](https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix).

Setup
=====

Create a `/etc/pam.d/xmpp` with something like this:

    auth    [success=1 default=ignore]  pam_unix.so obscure sha512 nodelay
    auth    requisite           pam_deny.so
    auth    required            pam_permit.so

And switch authentication provider in the Prosody config:

    authentication = "pam"
