Hi Christian, This is not part of std Jigsaw, but it could probably be added as a new resource. The problem is how to access the password file from Java... One way of dealing with it would be to have a generic user directory, to which you add the user-name. Most systems are configured to have users home directiry in, say, /users/foo. The new (subclass of directory resource), would act as a PassDirectory: when getting /~joe, it would either: - Notice that joe's PassDirectory to /users/joe already exists, - If not, create a new PassDirectory (with appropriate default for pass-location), and return it. This seems pretty easy to implement, but I won't have tim e to spend on it myself until after next release. Any takers ?
