Use php's existing mysql calls (you MIGHT have to recompile php to include mysql support) and modify it all in the php code. It's safer than having a bunch of calls to shell scripts from within the php, and it's relatively well documented. The basic auth table is simply a username, password, and group. You'll be able to auth based on the username, or the group, and you'll be able to modify them completely on the fly. - Jeff -- Jeff Jirsa jeff@unixconsults.com -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
