[OCLUG-devel] Runtime Libraries

[Doug Jolley]

I need to do some user authentication for use on web pages and what Apache 
provides isn't going to do it. (Basically, I need to authenticate a user for 
access to a directory and then deliver a cgi web page that is dependent on 
who the user is. Unfortunately it's not a variation on some central theme 
depending on who the user is. It's a totally different page.)

So, I was looking at the crypt library function. Looks pretty straight 
forward to me. I didn't think that I was going to have any trouble. Then, 
all of the sudden, I realized that crypt is a runtime library. I've never 
written anything that used a runtime library. So, basically my question is: 
Am I going to be able to handle this or am I in way over my head? Is there 
some way I can statically link this so that it becomes something more 
familiar?

Thanks for any input.
