    Umm, I got it to work using DIGEST-MD5, but apparently, all
    communications are encrypted after the authentication. Is there a way in
    which all the communications between the frontends and the backends are
    *not* encrypted, except, probably, the authentication dialog?
    I guess that's what CRAM-MD5 is for, but the frontend refuses to talk to
    the backend if it is presented with CRAM-MD5 only. Is there any way to
    do this or I am doing something really wrong? :)
