  1. Database
  2. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  3.  
  4. As supplied, all of the library routines attempt to access a password
  5. database referenced by <Users$Database>. The ideal placing for the password
  6. database would be Choices:Users.passwd, or perhaps invididual ones for
  7. individual programs; Choices:NFSserver.passwd (or whatever). Some example
  8. script to set this would be something like this:
  9.  
  10.     If "<Choices$Write>" <> "" And "<Users$Database>" = ""
  11.                              Then Set Users$Database Choices:Users.passwd
  12.     If "<Choices$Write>" =  "" And "<Users$Database>" = ""
  13.                              Then Set Users$Database <Prog$Dir>.passwd
  14.  
  15.  The database consists of lines, each of the following format:
  16.  
  17.     username:encrypted-password:realname:uid:gid:home directory
  18.  
  19.  The home directory is allowed to contain `:' characters. All others fields
  20. are not.
