I'm having a problem.  It's assumed that I should have the environmental

variable, REMOTE_USER available to me.  However, being very new to linux

(RedHat v5.2) and using Apache, along with a software protection
program, I can't seem to make this work.  I've been webmastering for
about 9 months now, and I convinced the server's owner to use linux
since it was easier to use and just as powerful as Irix, which is the
preferred os.  But I'm lacking in some areas, as much as I've learned.
This is regarding the pay area of the server, and the ability to be able

to tell the user who s/he is.  I would appreciate any assistance.
Thanks.
