by From my reading of the Apache docs, the only way I can find to get the
REMOTE_USER variable set is to have a .htaccess file with associated
"require" directives and .htpasswd et. al.
This works fine, but I want to make things easier on my users, and I'd
like REMOTE_USER to be set whenever any user runs my CGI scripts. The
server in question is hidden behind a firewall, and that is all the
security I want.
Is there any way i can get REMOTE_USER set without having users type in
their username/passwd?
