Allow All Authentication

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

.. warning:: :program:`auth_all` is a security risk!  Do not use this plugin with production servers!

:program:`auth_all` is an authentication plugin that allows *all* connections

regardless of username or password, so it does not actually authenticate and

it does not provide any security.  This plugin is mostly used for testing.
