[TWiki-Dev] TWIKI INSTALLATION

[Pavan <s_...@rt...>]

Hi all,
Could someone  please give some tips on this installation problem of =
TWiki
that I am facing.
I am trying to install  TWiki on Linux(SuSE Version7.1) and am doing it =
on
Apache1.3.11 .
The problem that I am facing is  I am not able to understand where and
how do  I  set the REMOTE_USER environment variable.We plan to use the=20
intranet login as the TWiki registartion too so that the security and =
the
authentication issues are taken care of by our NIS server itself.

So, there are 2 clarifications that I request of:
1.How and where do I set this variable?
2.Could  someone  give me some
guidelines on the relative advantages(/disadvantages) of not using the=20
.htpasswd (i.e using the intranet  webserver instead).

Thanks and Regards,
Pavan
