Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, dogs, cats, puppets, and frogs.

I'd like to get everyones ( or at least one person) to respond with their opinion on this.

Okay, i need a way to have a login type system at the start of my program. Just username and password basically. I have NEVER used databases in my programs all though i have used them in sample apps from books i read. What should i do? Store the names/passwords in .ini files on a webserver? or what lol i'd like this to be as easy as possible though.
