This is an example: I have a regular web site that has a private portion, something like a user support bulletin board. The bulletin board is strictly for our clients. The username and password will be given to clients by CGI ( htpwd etc. ) or E-mail. I don't want crackers get into the bulletin board. So, I'd like to make a program that will scan usernames based on htpwd ( not /etc/passwd ) who are visiting the page. > You can find out how to do logging, passwords & usernames - and bunch more > by going to http://www.apache.org > I will check that page from the begining.
