In apache's httpd.conf, you should enable these lines: LoadModule auth_module modules/mod_auth.so AddModule mod_auth.c and define an authentication realm for your cgi directory, like this: <Directory /var/www/cgi-bin> Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all AuthType Basic AuthName "World Administration" AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/htpasswd require valid-user Satisfy all </Directory> In Perl, if you use CGI.pm, there's an attribute providing that value. Just check if this little CGI-script works for you: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use CGI; my $q=new CGI; print $q->header,"You are user ",$q->remote_user; Good luck! -- Johannes Franken Professional unix/network development mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jfranken.de/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
