Hi

I have a MPD VPN server and another machine which runs WWW, IMAP and  
POP3 services.

I know that I could check if a password is valid e.g. by writing a  
script which calls a Lynx command.

But how can I forward the password from MPD to that script? And I also  
think that the password has to be unencrypted for the lynx command, so  
how can I manage that?
