Strongbox is the cream of the crop in security software, providing the
only modern defense against password sites, brute force attacks, etc.
It'll work with any majorprocessor and also includes a simpel interface
for manualy adding members, changing passwords, etc.

Here are some good server side scripts for creating and
managing members area galleries:
Coppermine is a good free open source one:
http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/
Take a look around the site and look at
the demos. As far as the galleries themselves
Coppermine is excellent, wth many features
and very configurable.
WebWare, at
http://www.adultwebware.com
This is a very full featured one. It's designed
to manage not just your galleries, but your whole site.
Kind of like a cross between FrontPage and a gallery
script I guess you could say. Personally I prefer
simple tools that do one thing and do it right,
sch as Coppermine, but many webmasters seem to
like WebWare.
If you mention coupon code "STRONGBOX10" there is a $35 discount.
I think that one runs about $350 before the discount.

a-ConMan at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/a-conman/ and
http://www.bettercgi.com/a-conman/screenshots/
This one used to sell for $3,500. It's nice because you can manage
several sites from one interfce using one content database.
The company went out of business after they lost their programmer
and now the script is free and open source. I've taken over as project
manager.
I don't have a nice web site up for it yet, but it's a reasonably good script.
Not worth the $3,500 that some people paid for it,
it might be for you if you have $200 in your budget.
You can download the script for free but I just started writing the
documentation so having me install it will probably save you
about 2 days of strugging with it. I charge $200 to install and support it.
SiteDepth

I haven't a had a chance to use this one, but I've
heard good things about it, it looks to be very profesionally
done, and the people involved seem to be nice, helpful people.
The above scripts essentially do predefined gallery rotation.
One plugin gallery provider wanted dynamic galleries where
the user could click on a models name, for example, and get a
listing of all galleries with the model. The user could also select
a category and get a list of all galleries in that category, or search
for all sets of chicks with a-cup boobs, or red hair, or even red headed
chicks with a-cup boobs. This is cool because you can make feeder
sites instantly. The entire content section of the feeder
site is just a call to the script. For example, if you want
to have a "big titted redheads" site the members URL would be:
/cgi-bin/rmeecontent/psetsearch.cgi?hair=red&brafrom=c&brato=z.
For that we made some modifications to my content store script and
it really works great. This last script is my favorite for sure,
but my taste in scripts may not be the same as yours.
All of the above scripts are certified Strongbox compatible.
