how can set a password for a file in linux using c/c++
Welcome to TSDN.

Good Idea!
Best of Luck.

Now look, this is System Level Programing.
I think the Unix will not provide you the API for it.
You have to do it from the System Level.
Then one thing you need that you have to know about the Password Encryption and in which File the Password stored and one more thing are you permitted to write on that File.
I think you understood me.
Again, Best of Luck with your Code.
If there is any problem then come here with your Specific Problem, Experts are here to lead you to right direction.

Kind regards,
Dmjpro.

If you know the Linux command for it, you could always use the 'system()' command in C/C++.

We're working on an intranet site where we will require user's to only be able to access their own page in some instances. Rather than introducing another password to the mix, we were thinking about seeing if we could use the same credentials (username and password) as their linux credentials. The web site will be running off of the same machine that we want to access the credentials on. Thanx! -joltman

OK, I've Googled for this and cannot seem to quite find what I need. So, I turn to the Gentle Geniuses here for help. Here is what I need to do from within a script: Given a username and a password (plain text): 1) Validate that the password is correct for that user *without actually logging in*. 2) If the password is valid, return a list of all the groups the user belongs to. Otherwise, return some error string.

Hi, When entering a password we don't really see the characters - we see **** instead. How can I write such a routine in C? How can I 'echo off' the inputs? How can I get a characters/strings from the keyboard without typing them and ENTER at the end? Like read(kbd,...) in BASIC? I am running mingw on an XP platform, Thanks,
