 * I found a solution online for implementing authentication via an Authentication
   service: [http://ben.lobaugh.net/blog/7175/wordpress-replace-built-in-user-authentication](http://ben.lobaugh.net/blog/7175/wordpress-replace-built-in-user-authentication)
 * What I am hoping to do is authenticate a subscriber base using a service, such
   as the one above, OR using standard authentication for our general wordpress 
   administrators and editors (i.e. against the users table).
 * Has anyone come across this before?
