another way to work around the problem would be to use some kind of html-form to input the user name and password and validate it 'on foot' on the consecuting page, but i have the strong feeling that this will not work as it is server-side and the client is not notified - but this may be a wrong conclusion. does anyone know a way to get a 'nice' login page and avoid the brainbogglingly ugly error message?

you could use UserDb together with "cookie-based authentification" which provides you with a html-page for login instead of the browser's message box that pops up for login. that would be my quick hack for solving this problem... thilo -- mezger@innominate.de innominate AG networking people fon: +49.30.308806-11 fax: -77 web: http://innominate.de pgp: /pgp/tm
