Why would you want to have a child process authenticate itself to the system.
The system has already authenticated is owner, once is usually enough.
Are you wanting to create processes that belong to another user? Or are you trying to figure out how a system logs in a new user?

There's something I don't understand. The same string does not give the same md5 hash everytime. I wanted to find a way to check someone's password but the following script obviously shows that it's not possible that way :

nwvolinfo
NWVOLINFO(8) nwvolinfo NWVOLINFO(8)
NAME
nwvolinfo - Diplay info on NetWare Volumes
SYNOPSIS
nwvolinfo [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -v volume ] [ -N ]
DESCRIPTION
nwvolinfo displays information on a NetWare Server Volume.
nwvolinfo looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa-
tion. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.
OPTIONS
-h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwvolinfo
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
-v volume
The volume name to be used. Defaults to 'SYS'.
-N
Display the information in numeric-only format for use in a pipe.
