i would think you could just use crypt() to check the pass against what you read in from the file

Kirchner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 2:27 AM To: PHP-General List Subject: [PHP] Login verification I want to make a login page in PHP, which will check the user/password against the system's user/password file (in my case, /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.) With the machine running PAM, how can I have PHP do this? Keep in mind I don't need to modify anything, just verify the login. Once verified, the script either continues on to doing other things, or it bombs with a bad login page. -- H | "Life is the art of drawing without an eraser." - John Gardner +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.
