Hi,

I would like to be able to verify user privileges with a web GUI.
Instead of keeping a separate file with unencrypted passwords, though, I
just wanna be able to verify them from passwd, for example:

the $QUERY_STRING is blah.cgi?name=johnny&pwd=bgoode

I wanna match this to:

grep -e "$name" /etc/passwd | cut -d":" -f1 # will yield user name
grep -e "$name" /etc/passwd | cut -d":" -f2 # will yield password

can I manually encrypt the value of $pwd in the above example so that it
matches the grep | cut output?

I hope I explained that ok.

Thanks IA,
Roman
