<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Tahoma'>Thanks Alan, what <span class=highlight>I am actually
trying to achieve is to authenticate</span> <span class=highlight>users</span>
against our Linux /<span class=highlight>etc</span>/<span class=highlight>shadow</span>
or /<span class=highlight>etc</span>/password/ <span class=highlight>files</span>.
I don't want to use the <span class=highlight>USERS</span> <span
class=highlight>file</span> as it stores passwords in clear text which is what
we're trying to avoid.<br>
