I think it should compile on most Linux systems because these days they include the mysql C library as well as mysql itself. The user-id is sent to the server through the Connection node in the X3D file. I've used the SAI to set that field from an HTML wrapper, which takes the value out of a browser cookie, which in turn is set by the login page.
k, I'll try downloading and installing on a linux server, thanks, chris jay
