This exam is due on Monday October 24 at the beginning of class. Unless other arrangements are made with the instructor, prior to this time, this exam will will not be accepted late. The answers to the exam will be submitted electronically as a single uuencoded shar file. This file should expand to a single directory, containing all of the answers to the questions, which has the same name as the user submitting the answers.
If the username is not part of the system's database, the user is asked if they wish to apply for an account. To apply for an account the user must submit a username, real name, email address and an initial password. (note A) If the username submitted is unique, the system will add the user to it's database, and send the user mail stating that their account has been added, and send them to the KSU home page.
Users successfully loging into the system should be presented with a page containing their login name and a button that will take them to the KSU home page.
Please note, you are not dealing with the file /etc/password for this program. This program should maintain an independent user database.
