You may want to try going a different route. Have you worked with .htaccess
files? You can set a username and password. You can also setup group access
for, say, an organization with many members. It is about as secure as the
telnet login system (they have similar password storage). Anyway... with the
.htaccess system, your browser pops up a password dialog for you. It's very
simple, and reasonably secure. Check it out at http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/.
I can't get the exact page for you because their server seems to be down at
the moment.
