[users@httpd] Calling htdbm from another server

[Simon Harrison <in...@simonh.uk>]

Good evening. Does anyone know a standard / recommended way of calling
htdbm between servers? To be clearer:

1. A user is deleted on server 1
2. Access needs to be revoked on server 2 for that user

I'd like to be able to run

# htdbm -x /usr/local/apache2/var/users.db someuser

and 

# htdbm -bt /usr/local/apache2/var/users.db someone pword

in a simple way if possible. 

Maybe someone has a cgi script I could use / adapt? 

Thanks,

Simon

I think RPC would be one of the neatest ways to solve this. But it's not 
exactly the lowest effort option.

I've been looking into this some more and I think the easiest way if
can execute htdbm without requiring a password over ssh.

Thanks for the tip though, I'll bear it in mind.

I'd probably consider using SQL/LDAP or a shared filesystem for this.
Would that work?  Alternatively, you could rsync between the servers,
depending on how fast you want the updates to happen.
