CGI login module

I've decided to dip my toes in the waters of cgi by writing a web version of the Hacker's Diet tools. Since I am planning on having it support multiple users I started looking for modules that would simplify handeling user accounts and authentication. I found logintools, but it seems to be quite broken.

Are there any other similar modules that aren't quite as broken, or should I just roll my own?

**Update**
With the help of the author I have worked through the issues, some were on my side, some where on his. Anyway, now that it is up and running well I must say that logintools is really nice.

No suggestions for authentication libraries, I'm afraid, but if you find logintools lacking, why don't you fix it rather than roll your own?

Good point.

logintools

I'm the author of logintools - I use it on a couple of projects. Email me to discuss it if you want.... it should work.

you could write an object that wraps around some calls to os.popen() calling the htpasswd command (which comes with apache).

htpasswd is a command line program that encrypts passwords to a plaintext but MD5 file.

If your program works with htpasswd files then it will be able to use the same passwords as apache.
