I think for most applications PAM is a much better alternative. It is
inherently simpler. It can support ticket systems by using Kerberos. It
can support access restrictions based on time-of-day, IP-address, and
such, which (correct me if I'm wrong) SASL cannot. If is far more widely
used and easily understood.
PAM does not do network authentication. PAM does not solve the
problems under consideration.
Please use pwcheck. Your problems will go away.
