I've been thinking about this and I think the daemon is definitly the way to go. If Rick can't release the code I can write one. I think the protocol could be like this: Authentication: <client> open tcp connection or unix socket to deamon send "auth [EMAIL PROTECTED] pass" <daemon> If not auth line close connection else authenticate user, close connection if invalid passwd From then on we could pass commands like: For admin accounts: vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] pass vdeluser [EMAIL PROTECTED] vadddomain domain postmaster-pass vdeldomain domain etc... I already have server code to handle this kind of daemon in both single threaded and multithreaded modes. Ken Jones inter7.com
