LOGIN.CGI - Version 3.5 [Public Release]
Supports versions 5.xx of UBB Licensed ONLY
By Jim Goldbloom

This is my final release for 5.xx series of UBB.
A new beta for UBB6 users will be available in a few weeks.
What is LOGIN.CGI?
So you're thinking why not just use .htaccess and be done with it? HA! I say, HA HA HA! ;-)
This version supports support for UBB styles (colors/fonts/etc.) plus a nifty new option to ban users who do not have posting enabled in their profile, if you wish. Other cosmetic fixes and it's an EXTREMELY stable version. I also updated the docs and perl-cookie.lib to help Windows users. This is a complete front end to tighten security on your UBB and allow a customized login screen complete with guest login support (optional), SSI redirects of forum topic pages requiring login first, IP ban checking, invalid/missing/illegal logins, and fixes problems with a few cookies. This is a powerful front end and I am sure you'll enjoy, it's highly customized and even includes custom redirect option you can use as you see fit.
Full features listing in this version:
* authenticates username/pass with UBB member files
* catches/logs ALL invalid/missing/illegal logins
* full support for IP ban list in CP
* Optionally force logout users who do NOT have
posting capability enabled but are registered.
* login username displayed in UBB; logout prompt hack
* full support for guest login mode
* support for registration screen (new members)
* support for lost password function in UBB
* when posting, username/pass fields *always*
filled in automatically even if other cookies expire
* guests are restricted from posting - full control
* custom entry point login screen integration for
unique online experience for your users
* automated logging (creates browser viewable HTML)
including date/time/user/IP/hostname lookup
and ability to disable events as you wish
* optional SSI support for max. data protection
(such as accessing UBB HTML topics/forums) with
registered user auto-redirect after login
* forced/manual login/logout, integrated into UBB
* allow custom private forum/screen redirect to
expand functionality of your UBB
* demo screens included in release archive
* full documentation and examples in archive
for UBB hacks, login screen demo, SSI setup
* friendly login-setup.txt - new and improved
* very streamlined UBB hacks, easy to install
* redirects have sensible timing delays

settings so clean, integrated interface for
