Re: Why is this not working

If I try su nobody it asks for nobody's password. If i enter no password a I get Authentication denied. I am able to add users to the htpasswd file via telnet or zoc but my mission is to get it working using PHP All the syntax to do it, from what I have seen is relatively straight forward. but for some reason it just doesn't want to work for me.
