Couple solutions... For changing passwords, check the archives for URLs I posted to a couple scripts to do just that (one in perl, the other in PHP) For verifying users before giving them their stats 'n stuff, I have a scriptlet that validates the username/password from the pop server. In the past, I had a seperate script that validated against a radius server. Hope this helps, Troy ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of aunty ** Sent: Monday, January 31, 2000 1:43 PM ** To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org ** Subject: web access with unix password ** ** ** I need to set up a new web site for users to do things ** like checking ** their usage stats and changing their password. ** ** There are server security problems with using the real ** password file or ** a derived .htaccess, but it's a while since I've been down ** this track. ** I'd like to present all the options with pros and cons ** before making ** the "right" decisions. ** ** Can anyone suggest where I might find the best up to date ** summary of the ** security issues and alternative approaches? ** ** -- ** ** Regards, ** -*Sue*- ** ** ** ** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org ** with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message ** ** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
