   $lines=split("\n",$output);
   foreach ($lines as $k=>$v)
   {
       list($login_nis,$pw_nis)=split(":",$v);
       if ($login_nis != $login)continue;
       //login trovata: ora si verifica la password
       $salt=substr( $pw_nis , 0 ,2);
       $pass_cript=crypt($password, $salt);
       if($pass_cript == $pw_nis) return 1;
       else return 0;   
   }
