I am using Matt Kruse's old calendar script [no version number in the
comments] and want to have multiple user/password capability to allow
more than one person to administer it without sharing the
username/passwords. Has any one already written this hack and would
be willing to share it?

Thanks,
Butch

Well for starters using any of Matt's scripts as been long deemed flawed
in anything reguarding security. If you want to modify the script, I'd
suggest usign a data base and doing lookups. Mysql works well, as a
quick and free solution.

Some moduels to handle Mysql lookups:

Mysql.pm
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Mysql'
http://search.cpan.org/author/RUDY/D...3/lib/Mysql.pm

DBD::mysql.pm
perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBD::mysql'
http://search.cpan.org/~rudy/DBD-mys...b/DBD/mysql.pm

Just create your tables, then right a query to see if the user exists
and if the password (I'd recommends a crypt'ed or a md5-hex'ed password)
matches.

MD5.pm
perl -MCPAN -e 'install MD5'
http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/MD5-2.03/MD5.pm

wright. should at least spell his name correctly when dissing him.

not that the calendar script the OP is using is any better. i would
wager many quatloos that it is of the same crap quality of wright's
scripts. it sounds like it is free and unsupported and of use only to
kiddies who don't know perl.

if you want a decent perl based web calendar, then check out
webevent.com. there are others out there too.
