- I have a unique question. I have a program that is written in C. This
- program is used by the Computer Center here on Campus to grant students
- accounts on the systems that are available. The student simply logs on to
- the machine that they wish to work on (UNIX, VAX, Mainframe) using the ID
- of accounts. This is a captive account that asks them for their Social
- Security Number and their birth date. Then with this information the
- captive account verifies their enrollment as a student on a central
- database. If they are enrolled then the captive account then creates them
- an account on that system.

- What I am interested in finding out is if there is a commercial product
- that would do the same thing or something similar?
-
- I thank you for the responses before hand.
