This is alleviated a bit using PEAR::Log Hi Tony, from the end of your mail I can see that you didn´t take a look at LiveUser. Basically this package does pretty much exactly what your package seems to do, but it doesn´t have an XML-RPC driver/provider yet (only one authentication driver based on PEAR::DB and two authorisation drivers, both also based on PEAR::DB, but implementing different feature sets). The concepts sound identical - maybe the two packages can benefit from each other? Regards, Markus -- Markus Wolff <wolff@21st.de>
