What exactly you want to achieve by doing "better web authentication"? In you case, what are those weaknesses with htpasswd scheme? I am asking because it is almost impossible to answer your question without additional info.----- Original Message ----- From: "pimp mastermind" <gbchustla () gmail com>

I have Slackware 10.1 runing. I am using it as a router and fileserver. I use Apache 1.3 for web access. I have some web directories which i want to secure more strongly than with htpasswd but i dont know any other ways of authentication. Also a lot of my scripts in those directories are wirted in PHP Perl and CGI scripting. I need to find a better way of authentication? Does any one knows any better way of authentication? Thank you all in advance for your help
