RE: [PEAR] Auth and permissions

Hi Marco! LiveUser can provide all the stuff you need. If I got you right, you want a auth/perm management like in PHPLib (I used this nice group names too :) Take a look at our current release. The auth container works like PEAR::Auth, there isn't that much difference. As perm container you should use DB_Simple (assign rights for each user) or DB_Medium (if you want to manage your users in groups). This containers have no right inheritance, so you'll be able to understand them quickly.
