You will need a checkpassword program for this task. By implementing the checkpassword interface, Binc has abstracted itself away from all user authentication, and relies on the checkpassword program for the purpose of user authentication and chdir():ing to the correct directory for that user. Read more about checkpassword at http://cr.yp.to/checkpwd.html I sent a message to binc-dev a while back with a simple, yet working, checkpassword program called bchkpw. It's in the PD so you are free to do what you like with it. Or, you could look to one of the other checkpassword implementations around. Off the top of my head, I can think of checkpassword (the original), cmd5checkpw and then the two custom ones that come with vpopmail and vmailmgr. Basically, if noone has done this before, where and how you store user and password data is up to you. :) //Peter
