[LCP]Suggestions for authenticating users...

[Shalabh_Sharma at Dell.com]

I think you could use OS authentication. Just use standard linux
authentication functions, and link with pam.
All the users on that box will get authenticated.

Hi,

I am working on a application and would like some suggestions in regards
to user authentication. I am using C and the application is being
developed for linux, but it will have some xplatform/windows clients
built at a later stage. 

CRYPT()ed passwords in MySQL is one possibility that I am looking into. 
But what others are worth a look. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,

Jay
