Hi Apache Team,

In one of my application,I wanted to provide the unix user authentication
without having an userfile.That is all the unix user must view webpages if
his/her unix userid is a valid one.

And I found some information related to it in web ,which was as below and I
downloaded the mod_auth_unix.c ,the source file of AuhtUnix directive.

<Directory /some/fancy/scripts/here>
                  AuthType Basic
                  AuthName <unix-user>
                  AuthUnix suid
                  <Limit GET POST>
                      require valid-user
                  </Limit>
 </Directory>

But When I tried with making a dynamic shared object using the configure
script,I got some errors.Please find them below.

Directory from which the following command was executed:
	/home/users/chidamba/httpd-2.0.43
syntax used :
 ./configure  	
	--add-module=module_type:/home/users/chidamba/authunix/mod_auth_unix.c
      	--enable-auth_unix=shared

I got the following message

Result:

configure: error: unrecognized option:
--add-module=module_type:/home/users/chidamba/authunix/mod_auth_unix.c
Try `./configure --help' for more information.


And when I ran ./configure -h ,the -add-module option was not found .

May I request you to help me ,on how to build shared object  
with configure script and also if there is any other directive available to do
unix user validation without having an userfile .

Thanks in advance
Regards,
Chidambaram
