I have one question : if the programm is runned on the freeBSD and knowing the password box is declared as password in the HTML form, the O.S. will encrypte automatically the password(or the HTTP server Apache will do that?)? If not how can I encrypte it in a C/C++ code? man crypt. btw, someone answered your question yesterday with a detailed explanation and some sample code. Do a search, it was quite a good explanation. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
