Dallas, We do exactly this at Carnegie Mellon, using the pubcookie system to provide Single Sign On for web access, which operates as an apache module that sets REMOTE_USER. One of the patches that I wrote here and has been integrated into the mon CVS code is an auth type "trustlocal" which allows connections to mon from localhost to specify the authenticated user without a password. I have patches for an old version of mon.cgi that cause it to honor the REMOTE_USER variable and pass it to mon. I even updated them for the current CSSified mon.cgi at one point, but never sent them anywhere... :( I'll try to update that to the current version and post it, maybe tonight. -David _______________________________________________ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
