With Perm, you may be right. (I never used Perm because that bit system is not that system I use inside my applications (I use a combined rights system of user<->groups with objects<->specific rights) But Auth is not a specific solution, Auth is very generic. And, another reason for placing these things in PEAR/ and not in PHPLib/ is that auth is such a basic thing for so many applications that it should be "PEAR Auth". -- Björn Schotte bjoern@php.net http://rent-a-phpwizard.de/ bjoern@baer.main.de Software dev advocate: http://www.advogato.org/person/baerli/
