If i were to use ibill and epoch at the same time, and added users of ibill to the same .htpasswd file, wouldnt that cause problems? esp since ibill does not automatically remove usernames..
i want to use seperate password file for ibill subscribers so i can easily track them to see which one is active which one is cancelled, while the epoch one is smoothly working on its own.

They use the same password file. I haven't had problems with using multiple processors with one password file (4 different processors). iBill should remove usernames when the expire.
You could modify the cgi scripts that epoch and ibill gave you so that a username is added into it's own file and then merges the ibill and epoch file togather for the members area. That way ibill and epoch will have it's own file for you to keep track of, but there will be one file for your members area to look at. There is a problem in that if the same username gets added to both files and then they are merged togather. One of your members won't be able to get access. Both epoch and ibill should check the password file to see if there is already a username before adding it.
