Whats the best way to get a acl to read from a database for usernames and passwords? Any help would be very helpfull.

I don't think you can directly interface the win acl's due to security, assuming you are trying to do this to run a membership site I would suggest grabbing a membership management program instead. Unfortunately since ms is a everything-for-profit company, I do not know where you would be able to get one of these programs for free.

(ever think of switching to linux?)

good luck!!!

cheers,
