I use the .htpasswd for keeping track of users passwords. Does anyone
know of any instructions that I could follow that would write a
to the users machine so they don't have to enter the user name/password
each time. I'm on a linux server

Thanks,
Chris

They could bookmark http://user:password@your.site.com/ .... but this
isn't very good as it probably leaves the password lying around on
their machine in plain text..

Normally your application would have to read and set the . But
if you want a cheesy approach, you could probably fake it with
mod_rewrite.

Many browsers already give the users a way to remember their credentials.
If they want to do that, they can do that already. I wouldn't bother
trying to work out another way to do something that's already possible.
