Re: Can the username be represented differently ?

You could quite easily use UID/GUID (and in fact some anti spam headers do, the values live in $> and $< )

[james@devel3 root]$ perl -e 'print $>,$/, $<, $/';
506
506
[james@devel3 root]$ su root
Password:
[root@devel3 root]# perl -e 'print $>,$/, $<, $/';
0
0
[root@devel3 root]#

I get a "premature end of script headers" message, when trying with this That would be because you are using CGI and not sending any headers :o) See CGI Help Guide `#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n"; print $>; print $/; print $<; print $/;` [download] cheers tachyon	[reply] [d/l]
