Introduction

New File_Passwd Facilities

The new File_Passwd package provides facilities to manage many different kinds of password files.

Fileformat

passwd-style means, the file has a format like this:

user<delimiter>password

The delimiting character is usually the colon.

With the new File_Passwd_Custom class you can choose your delimiting character, but be aware that any column of your passwd file MUST NOT contain the delimiter!
