Perl website login and session
Hi,
I'm currently working on a perl website, and I would need a system where a few users can login into the administration side of the site. about 5-10 users maximum, all pretty simple.
I was thinking of using an .htaccess file and a seperate admin folder on the server. I'm wondering if there is any way to use the username someone entered in the perl scripts on the admin pages. (for example, to put a "logged in as:" field on the webpage somewhere). Maybe there is a variable or something I can use.
I'm also wondering what my other options are in this matter, for instance, making an actual login page, how would this work? can I make a users table in a database then (with password encryption).. I'd like it to be secure.
Any help is welcome, this is a good learning experience.

newkey
NEWKEY(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NEWKEY(8)
NAME
newkey -- create a new key in the publickey database
SYNOPSIS
newkey -h hostname
newkey -u username
DESCRIPTION
The newkey utility is normally run by the network administrator on the Network Interface Service (NIS) master machine in order to establish
public keys for users and super-users on the network. These keys are needed for using secure RPC or secure NFS .
The newkey utility will prompt for the login password of the given username and then create a new public/secret key pair in /etc/publickey
encrypted with the login password of the given user.
Use of this program is not required: users may create their own keys using chkey(1).
OPTIONS
-h hostname
Create a new public key for the super-user at the given hostname. Prompts for the root password of the given hostname.
-u username
Create a new public key for the given username. Prompts for the NIS password of the given username.
SEE ALSO
chkey(1), keylogin(1), publickey(5), keyserv(8)
NOTES
The Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP). The functionality of the two remains the same; only the
name has changed.
