need username/password verifyer


I need a way to verify a username/password combo from the command line so that I can call it from say a bash script, though I am not necessarily asking this for programming purposes

What I would really like is something liek this:

echo "username password" | theprogram

and have it return yes or no, or some other easily recognisable thing such as error code.

anyway I looke dinto checkpassword, it requires to much manipulation to just pass it the username and passwordm, way to complex for my purposes.

thank you
