Integration of User-Id/Passwords

Integration of User-Id/Passwords
I'm the webmaster of IzmirHigh.com and an avid DBMan user. My site is getting so busy with Perl/CGI that my users are getting rather confused with all the DIFFERENT User-Id/Password's (as am I) they have to use.
Specifically, I have DBMan, Ultimate Bulletin Board (UBB), Subscribe Me, Majordomo and most recently, name@izmirhigh.com email thru everyone.net.
Is there any way of integrating any and or all of these scripts into one User-Id/Password for any or all of the end-user's?
I've read that integrating DBMan and UBB is a non-starter, but if there's a way, I know someone at Gossamer's will know how, :)
... if it can't be done, so be it, just thought I'd ask.
Thx in advance.

Don't think it would be possible. Almost every script has its own way of storing the infomation on users. Some store it;

user|email|password

whilst other scripts may store it as;

user|password

This makes it very hard to integrate into several scripts at once. If you wanted too, you could probably do major hacks to the scripts, but this i think is very unpracticle, and time consuming LOL Cool

Hope this helps

Well it would actually be possible but it would take a lot of modification.....however you wouldn't be able to integrate it with everyone.net as they are an external website.

You could probably use cookies to integrate most of them or modify them to use a central database.
