again. The reason I ask this is that if I, as admin, have to manually give all
the users a password,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

the users want their work password, then I know that as well, and that
cannot be the intention</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=745532516-07062005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>A
solution could be to add everybody to the list, with the same password, and then
they can change it if they want. Or is it somewhere described how new users can
register with a new username and a choosen password, and then a script
takes care of the transscription and saving in the .passwd file. That would be a
great help. In fact, sounds not that difficult to implement. But my skills in
PHP programming are very basic, for the moment. So any direction to do this is
welcome.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

[pmwiki-users] userAuth and unix passwd file<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=588190516-07062005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've installed the
latest version of the PmWiki on the intranet of my work, to be used among
several users of several groups. I want to use the userauth plug in, to to
authentication. Is the only way to use this by having the users enter their
email addres and preferred username, and then the admin has to send a pwd? Is
there a way to link the unix passwd file with the .passwd file required by
PnWiki? Like this I don't have to give everybody a new password. My guess is
that it is not possible, as you have to set the permission (read, edit, etc)
as well. Any clues?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
