Ok, I'm trying to use e107 (a php based CMS) and having it pull specific aspects from SBBS's webserver, namly the messages bases. I'm trying to
come up
with a way of having a single login. I contemplated modifying userdat.c
to add/remove users from a MySQL database as well as user.dat but that
looks like
way too much work. I've thought about doing a export from user.dat to
MySQL once a hour or maybe more, but don't like that idea (want tighter integration.)

Anyone got any other ideas, or some encouragement for taking on the more difficult task of doing a synchronous update of user.dat and MySQL?

thanks,

you can write a webservice with ssjs scripting or a simple auth service
like :

load ("sbbsdefs.js");

var usuario;
var pass;
var entrada;
var un; //user number

log("Conexion desde:" + client.ip_address + ":" + client.port);
writeln ("+OK bbs server");
entrada = truncsp(readln());

if (String(entrada).substr(0,4).toUpperCase() == "USER") {
//obterner user y preguntar por password
usuario = String(entrada).substr(5).toUpperCase();
entrada = truncsp(readln());
if (String(entrada).substr(0,4).toUpperCase() == "PASS") {
//obtener pass y compara
pass = String(entrada).substr(5).toUpperCase();
if (checklogin(usuario,pass)) {
//login ok
writeln ("+OK login ok");
}
else {
log ("error en el login");
writeln ("-ERR login error");
}
}
else {
//error de comando
log("deberia ser PASS");
writeln ("-ERR secuencia invalida");
}
}
else {
// comando invadlido
log ("comando invalida no fue USER");
writeln ("-ERR comando invalido");
}

function checklogin(user,pass) {
un = system.matchuser(truncsp(user));
if (un >0) {
log ("usuario encontrado!");
usuario = new User(un);
if(usuario.security.password == pass){
log ("password OK");
return true;
}
else {
log ("password error");
return false;
}
}
else {
log ("error usuario no encotrando");
return false;
};
}

this is a pop3-like auth service, you can put it in your service.ini as:

[auth]
port=9999
MaxclientS=10
options = 0
command=auth.js
