[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, I work for an ISP and I want to make a logger programm for our user. I'm programming a CGI code and in the page that use it the end-user has to input his name and password of his Internet account. I keep their names and encrypted passwords in a file on the server. You know the programm will receive as input user's name and password. I have one question : if the programm is runned on the freeBSD and knowing the password box is declared as password in the HTML form, the O.S. will encrypte automatically the password(or the HTTP server Apache will do that?)? If not how can I encrypte it in a C/C++ code? Thank you, Bogdan Paduraru [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2014.210" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I work for an ISP and I want to make a logger programm for our user.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm programming a CGI code and in the page that use it the end-user has to input his name and password of his Internet account. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I keep their names and encrypted passwords in a file on the server.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You know the programm will receive as input user's name and password.
