Is there a possibility to check k-passwords against another? My problem is to
authorize a person to run a command in a perl script if his password (coming 
from STDIN) matches the k-password belonging to his account. In general I can 
crypt the input and compare it to the entry in the passwd file. But how
can it done under k.

For hints and examples thank you in advance.

Please mail me to: hfalken@x4u.desy.de

regards Harald
