Authenticate Shell script

ultimatix · #1 (**permalink**) 05-10-2009

Hi

I want to create a script that will authenticate user from a file and if both of them match then only the script is allowed to be executed...

Suppose I have a script say test.sh and a file config.txt

for users whose user ids exist in the text file should only be given permission to execute the script...

Thanks

Code:

user=`whoami`
greo $user config.txt 2>/dev/null 1>&2
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "$user is allowed to execute"
else
echo "$user not allowed to execute..exiting"
exit 1
fi
..
..

cheers,
Devaraj Takhellambam
