More of an integration set of questions...

Just so that I am clear.... logins are basically controlled by a file
called

login.username

This consists of basically a simple file in the format of:

----------------------------
~data~
member: username
~
password: PASSWORD
----------------------------

I know that you can extend what data is stored there by changing the
login form... but basically that is the nuts and bolts of what
determines what a user is.

The password appears to be crypt based.

Membership is controlled by a group.groupname file which has a basic
format
of:

-----------------------------
username1
username2
username3
~data~
author: admin
-----------------------------

Questions...

1) Can the password type be changed to MD5?  Most of our other web
packages use MD5 for passwords.  If so, any idea which files would
need to be modified.  I didn't see a plugin for this.

2) I assume that an external program could create and update these
files as long as the format is correct as well as permissions. Right?

3) I see that there are stamps versions of files.  Not 100% sure how
to deal with that.  I don't know that versions of these files are all
that important for my purposes.

I have already built extensive staff management functions in the
primary websites of sites that might start using the wiki.  There are
also links to the same userid's for email access, and other access
throughout the sites.

The wiki won't replace the websites, but I would like to create a
bridge between them and the wiki logins so that management of the
users remains in the website. I already bridge to other packages doing
this.

It would be much easier for me to do this externally than trying to
use the Wiki to do it.
