How do you determine who the remote user is so that you can look them up? Credentials is how you do that. And if they are not in the database, how do you authenticate them? Is there a second database? It sounds like you are looking at some sort of CGI/cookie/session solution but I don't quite understand the problem yet. -- D'Arcy J.M.
