Aside from creating an .ht* type of list, it is possible to simply
auth against a valid user on the server in question?
Looking to do the following;
User wishes to access directory... enters their system
login/passwd... login is auth'ed against the system password list...
php then performs a pwd or something to determines the users home
directory etc... and perform the tasks that it needs to.
Can it be done? And what are the security ramifications?
