Re: UNIX Logins by Proxy Over the Web

Could you have a web form which collects all the necessary information from
the user, and then sends it to the UNIX server in a file which your
application can parse? That way, users would not be interacting with the
UNIX server at all.


I think David's absolutely right: this is almost certainly the easiest and
most secure way to achieve your stated goal. On submission of the form, the
web app would write the submitted data to a file (or database) and feed it
to your UNIX app.
