I am playing with trying to get a tomcat servlet to get username and password from a user and authenticate with the underlying linux /etc/passwd /etc/shadow file. I have looked into JAAS, it only seems to support NT, database, and flat text file authentication. From what I can tell, it may not exist. Have you seen anything on this or have any ideas of how to make it work? If I have to, I will turn off shadowing for this application... Examples of code would be greatly appreciated. allen
