Single sign-on in open source cool...

And an excuse too Thanks :)

My Oracle bookshelf is pretty limited as there are a bunch of marketing and accounting manuals competing for space :(

Unix in a Nutshell
Perl in a Nutshell
Oracle 8 The Complete Reference (just about time for an upgrade) and Velepuri's Backup and Recovery(not used often but just in case :).

"sed & awk", Roberts RMAN Handbook and Pete Finnegans Oracle Security pretty well round out my regular references.

Not counting the binders of man and pod printouts on DBI, Apache, mod-perl, etc from the early days, again, not used alot but needed.

Thanks for the code, loading it on to my development server as I write

Dave
