Hello All,

  I just created a web-based archive using MHonarc for a mailing list I 
belong to, but the list's membership would like to keep the archives
'private' since the topics discussed often involve sensitive biomedical
questions or unpublished research findings. I thought about implementing
a password-based access to the archives but preliminary indications
are that having to always supply a password can quickly become annoying.
I think that an authentication system based on the subscribers' computer
hostname, name, or email address would be best. That is, the server
would simply match the users' name or computer hostname to an entry in
a database to give or deny access.

Does anybody out there know how I can implement this or where I may find
the necessary info?

Thanks and happy new year.

PS: Please reply directly to me at 
'shungu(_at_)ultranmr(_dot_)cpmc(_dot_)columbia(_dot_)edu',
since I do not yet belong to the MHonarc mailing list.
