Hi,
Has anyone managed to code anything that will verify the username and
password of a user against the /etc/shadow file?
I need to authenticate users based on their local system accounts, but
unfortunately need to do this without recompiling PHP or Apache with custom
modules.
So far I've managed to pull all of the shadow password strings out and into
a database, but is there any way of 'matching' the encrypted strings if you
are given the plain text version, like with md5?
Thanks in advance,
Vince.
