Hi All,
I am trying to build a "client interface" for each of my web-hosting
customers, and would like to have them log into the system using the same
username/password combinations that are used for FTP, email etc.
ie: those stored in the Unix system's passwd and shadow passwd files.
I have seen a number of different methods for doing this, all of which seem
a little messy.
Obviously, the system allows you to do it - i have seen apache work with
this file for example. Any tips on where to look for info/help etc?
