Here's my situation. I have a mix of users. Some are running PHP sites and some are not. PHP runs as the web server owner, "nobody." Everyone else runs as their own user. Since the PHP sites run as nobody I want to require password but accept ident (from the server I control) for the rest. There does not appear to be a way to specif that. Here was one attempt: host all nobody 192.168.151.75/32 password host all all 192.168.151.75/32 ident But that doesn't work. The actual user according to ident is nobody but the request is for a specific user. As a result it isn't recognized by the first line so it tries ident anyway and fails. Is there any way to accomplish what I want? Any help appreciated. Cheers. -- D'Arcy J.M.
