As far as UserAuth2 just read the docs. Also create a standalone instance of the latest pmWiki and install the UserAuth2 recipe and give it a ride. That is what I had to do. Since you have a base knowledge of how security works by extending AuthUser I am sure by just reading the docs you will get volumes of information of its behavior. -- Thanks in Advance... http://weconsultants.prophp.org IchBin, Philadelphia, Pa, USA http://ichbinquotations.awardspace.com ______________________________________________________________________ 'If there is one, Knowledge is the "Fountain of Youth"' -William E.
