I suggest mod_auth_pam if you're running PAM on your Unix box,
You could find information about it from
http://pam.sourceforge.net/mod_auth_pam/;
After HTTP authentification (BASIC), the $PHP_AUTH_USER must be set.
I don't know if a PAM module exist for PHP .

shadow??
It's easiest to do this using apache, and not php. It's called
mod_auth_pwcheck. You can find information from
http://www.chel.com.ru/~anton/projects/mod_auth_pwcheck/; Hope
this helps.

I know that, I can use HTTP, or just normal HTML to prompt for user id
and password.
And check against the plain text, encrypted text or Database for the user
account.
But I wonder if I can check the user account against with the
/etc/passwd, i.e. use the system accounts.
For example, in the system, I am account 'snoopy', and password 'isadog'.
In PHP, I prompt for the account, and if the user enters snoopy:isadog,
can I verify this from the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow???
