for those interested, here is how I solved the problem...... I edited the source of unix_chkpwd to allow apache (the user I run my web server under) to lookup the passwords for other users besides itself.

I can't find much information on this topic at all, but here is one thing I have found.... What I'm wondering is how does aps such as usermin work but then I realize that it is probably because when I was testing it I started the minisrv.pl when I was logged in as root. Nothinman, you can you...

the perl script that I made fails with the wrong password but works with the correct password. Can you give me an example of how you would use it?

One last question: I got authen pam installed and I made a script that authenticates a username and password without any input from the user..... The only problem is that It only works when I'm logged in as root. Does that have anything to do with /etc/shadow? If it does, what is the best way...

thanks for your help... I will easily be able to do it now that I know that there is a PAM library...... It shouldn't be a problem to do SSL either. Thanks -jason

so when I look up how to use the PAM librariers it will be obvious how to use it based on the documentation? Also, yes, I will be using SSL

I want them to be able to type in theri unix system username and password on a web based form. I want that information to be sent to a perl script. I want the perl script to know whether or not the credentials are correct. -jason

btw, I'm using perl....

I want to offer a web service to which users can log onto using their existing linux system accounts. Assuming you could do this, what type of security risks would it pose. If the risks aren't extensive, how would it be possible. Anything I've come up with is sketchy at best. -jason

What is everyones favorite really cool websites?

What file stores the resolution in counter-strike. I need to know so that I can change the permissions on it so that users cannot make permenant resolution changes.

I think will probably just have to have a timer that closes out of the application after 1 or 2 minutes....... I'd rather do it when the app loses focus if ne one knows how to do this.

I understand that a form Cannot lose focuse if it has controls on it because it never gets focus.... So, how could you tell if a visual basic form has been put aside (ie, if the form is not the active window on your desktop)? I need to do this because I have an app that interfaces with a...

I need to know how I can create users from either a Perl script or a batch script. the script would need to take the username and password from command line parameters and use useradd (unless there is a more technical way that would be easier) and smbpasswd (unless there is a more technical way...

I'm going to cry if no one answers my question. WHAT THE HECK IS YOUR PROBLEMS?
