Afaik, mod_passwd doesn't really work yet, it's more something to
demostrate how it should be done.

iauth will call mod_passwd (passwd_start() ?), and depeding on the return
value iauth knows that it isn't finished yet, and will call it again
later.

The module can reject clients, by sending it to ircd, and then make iauth
stop authenticate it, by setting an option on the client data.

It's just the same like all other modules in iauth work.

There are no known security holes.

You could use some simple script that runs from crontab or something, or
some simple program like ircdwatch.
