apache authentication via nis



Guys,

I want to setup authorization access to my web server using the username 
and passwords which are found in the /etc/passwd file. (i.e. if I add a 
user to my system, then they should be able to access the website using 
their same username password as they do to log in.)

Is there a way to do this without having to have a duplicate htpasswd 
file around?

Thanks. Steve.
