All these solutions are depending (mainly) on having a dedicated server, which I believe would not be the case for 90% of the users on here (don't shoot me if i'm wrong).
So far, I can't see how the problem can be solved. My host does not allow telnet/ssh at all which sounds like a good thing! I can put the password file outside the public html, but from i've read in this thread, it looks like other users on a virtual server might be able to gain access to that file using PHP or annother program to read through the hard disk hierarchy. Then there was a suggestion that everything could be wrapped in a PHP-CGI thing, but I don't have PHP as a CGI on my server. What we really need is an expert here to give us the low-down on the best way to accomplish the best security given regular tools. What about encryption?
