On Auth: Instead of passing username, password, other things it could be refactored to passing an associative array like array ( 'username' => 'johnn', 'password' => 'sillepass', 'area4' => 'allowed'); So the keys would be the columnname, and the values would be the required value. ----- It would be nice to have an authentication mechanism like pam is for unices. If i'm not mistaken, LiveUser package is becoming such a thing? -- Tim Van Wassenhove <http://home.mysth.be/~timvw/contact.php>
