authentication on OpenBSD 3.1

[Guest_imported]

Hello,

I'm writting a programm which needs to authenticate the user, who login. So I tried to use auth_userokay(). The first time I log in it works but then the login always fails.

The deamon forks() for every user, maybe this is a problem! What can I do against it?

I also tried to use auth_usercheck() but it returns an auth_session pointer, and I can't check if the login was successful or not. So how can I do this ?

thanks in advance
hans

getpass() comes in mind ? be more detailed about your app - is it started from inetd or listens by itself ( inetd is easier for beginning not to hurt yourself too much w socket IOCTLs)
