I have faced a problem to do authentication at the os level. ie., I want to use the user's login name & password for that authentication purpose. ie., my program would do checking the given user's name & password. If the user exists, then the program will further proceed away. If any library function to check the user's name & password or any other ways exist, you can tell me. I am waiting for you. Thank you,sir. ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
