Sounds more and more like LiveUser ;-) Take a look: http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/pear/Perm_LiveUser/ You´ll discover mostly the same intentions there. However, on a brief look at your code I have already discovered a difference - you seem to organise users in groups in the authentication layer. LiveUser does this in the permission layer (authorisation). Regards, Markus -- Markus Wolff <wolff@21st.de>
