I've been known to roll my own but it sucked and isn't recommended (-:

Ask Hans about pauth (yo Hans!) -- which btw I started looking at and
didn't quite grok it, then my attention got diverted away.

I've also been playing a bit with PEAR::Auth, which after much research
(read: asking people here) I think is probably Good Enough but the
documentation is sparse (though not as sparse as in some PEAR packages).

Then I got interested in PhpDocumentor because although scrolling through
the source of PEAR::Auth might be enlightening, I wanted *documentation*.
PhpDocumentor worked great on my Linux box, seems broken on my Win2k --
but I digress.

PEAR::Auth certainly gets you started quickly & painlessly.
