I know that some DBMan users have modified their scripts in order to let people register by themselves and set up their passwords. As I am creating a database that collects information about people, I would like people to enter their data when they register, and don't let them add more records. Does anybody know how to do this? Thanks everybody!

You don't want to add a lot of extra data to your password file. It will slow things down and require a lot of editing of the scripts.

What you'll need to do is set

$auth_allow_default = 1;
@auth_default_permissions = (0,1,0,0,0);
$auth_modify_own = 1;

in the default.cfg file.

Then you'll need to copy part of the admin_display subroutine to the add_record subroutine so that it will write to both the database file and the password file at the same time.

I have a number of clients I'm working with right now, but when I have some time, I'll help you with it.
