I want to make a login page in PHP, which will check the
user/password against the system's user/password file (in my case,
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.) With the machine running PAM, how can I
have PHP do this?
Keep in mind I don't need to modify anything, just verify the
login. Once verified, the script either continues on to doing other
things, or it bombs with a bad login page.
