Re: Perl NIS authentication

Can't you just do a getpwnam and getpwuid and a crypt? NIS is just like files to any program on the OS.

I did not try that. But I got it to work this way use APR::Util(); @hashpasswd = split(":",chomp($yppasswd = `ypcat passwd \| grep $user:`)); $ok = APR::Util::password_validate($passwd, $hashpasswd\1\); if($ok == 1) { ## Valid User }else { ## Invalid user } Thanks for the reply!	[reply]
