I have a web-page which I want to restrict to the users defined only in /etc/passwd or in the NIS directory.
Is there a way of checking the username and password the user enters in the pop-up or whatever against the existing acounts in the local password file or in the nis file.
I guess if I am using apache, theres the htaccess thing also, but I ust wanted to get around the bother of having the users to get around creating another accpunt for themselves and use the existing nis accounts.
Thanks.
