Not quite done, but I'd like some feedback on scraping the /etc/shadow
file to populate an AuthUserFile for httpd authentication. Is there a
better way?

I put up red flags all around it, and I know people could really shoot
themselves in the foot (by not using SSL). But who's not to say users
won't pick the same password as their shell login anyway? And wouldn't
it be nice to have it update automagically (or every 5 minutes or so).

Could this be done in a more safe way with PAM somehow?
