I think there is a JAAS plugin which allows unix password authentication so using JaasRealm will probably be the way to go.

I think somewhere on sun.com there are some jsp / servlet mailing lists.

users of course need to login to the site before they may up/download
anything, so I need to authenticate them against the Unix-style user
information stored locally. I'm not yet completely sure how to deal with
this... So, two questions:

* How to link a jsp/servlet-based app to any unix-based user management?
Will I have to take a dive into JAAS for this, or is there a faster way?

* Generally, since this is not really tomcat-related (just to the point
that I'm using tomcat for this): Can anyone recommend a good
mailing-list for j2ee newbies? :)
