> Hello,

I am using INN on Linux 7.1. Now I want to do user authetication for INN.
How can we do this?.
We are using INN on Sun Solaris too. I have used the perl script as mentioned below , for user authentication. Its working fine on sun
solaris.
Could any body tell me what changes we require in this perl script so that It will work on LINUX 7.1.
{ #!/usr/bin/perl
                                use NDBM_File;
                                use Fcntl;
                                tie (%db, 'NDBM_File', '/path/to/database', O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0640)
                                    or die "Cannot open /path/to/database: $!\n";
                                $| = 1;
                                print "Username: ";
                                my $user = <STDIN>;
                                chomp $user;
                                print "Password: ";
                                my $passwd = <STDIN>;
                                chomp $passwd;
                                my @alphabet = ('.', '/', 0..9, 'A'..'Z', 'a'..'z');
                                my $salt = join '', @alphabet[rand 64, rand 64];
                                $db{$user} = crypt ($passwd, $salt);
                                untie %db;
}

I am a new user of UNIX env.
