RE: [PHP] User Authentication

I believe you could try to do system() calls.

I have to write a php program to handle student assignment submissions. These users need to authenticated against an winnt PDC. Samba has a package called winbind that will let me map the pdc's usernames and groups onto the unix ones, with the help of pam. Now i then need to access those throught (i assume) the unix getpwent and getgrent commands, so that winbind will be used as the service to lookup the names and passwords. Is this functionality available in php ? If not, anybody got any pointers on how to go about writing a wrapper for php for this ??
