Hi,
I need to write a server program that can do the following:
when user ftps to our server, this program will take their
inputed passwd, encrypt it using md5, send it to another machine which
has a file /etc/passwd, then on the other machine, it will compare the
encrypted passwd, and send over
the relevant information such as home directory, group id and so on.
I cannot use NIS as my boss does not want me to.
Can someone please point me to some places to start with? Any good
web pages or books that have got this kind of thing??
Thanks very much!
Shao.
