Creating seperate logins for two types of users?
I'm looking to create a job board using Links SQL and have two types of users. Job seeker and Employer. Job Seeker will be able to login and create an online profile/resume and apply to jobs while Emplyers will be able to log in and post jobs and view profiles.

Do I need to create new user.cgi page and if so how, or is there another way.

Thanks for your help.

I think you should be able to do this by adding a new field to the User database. When signing up as an employer you would set this field to 'Employer' and when signing up as a Job seeker you would set it to 'Seeker' - or similar. Then you can use <%if NewField eq 'Employer'%>... in the templates.
