Thank you one an all, especially Mark Bixby, Mark Klein, Charles Dean and Tyler Allison for the help with Mod_Auth_External, VECHECKLOGON, Apache recompiling, GNU C questions and all. I have finally gotten things to work! Instead of using that pesky /etc/passwd type file and having two different places to change userid/password information, I now have Apache 1.2.5 running and it will authenticate against VeSoft's Security/3000 package. I will be writing something up about this, with a complete 'How To' and 'limitations' sections.
