Ok, here's the whole project, I have an openbsd box using authpf which uses
authentication via ssh login. So, i'm trying to create a weblogin using php
so people just have to enter their username/password (which would be a
restricted unix account) to gain access to the internet. I have authpf all
setup, but I'd like to add a web login to make it more user friendly. Thanks
Teren
