I started off this way, but you also need to have users in the RT 
database. I wanted to try authentication to afs via PAM, and if that 
fails, try RT's database.

Here is what I've put in local/WebRT/html/autohandler for RT2.0.15

It's not a drop-in replacement, but it should give some ideas, and if 
someone who is good at perl skim over my change and let me know if there 
is a better way, I'd appriciate it.
