except etc\password.ini file, all other etc\*.ini files contain:- ## Use 'make addpasswd' to generate the utility addpasswd ## Usage: ## addpasswd config userid password instead of:- ## Usage: addpasswd config section userid password Also when testing out the addpasswd utility on Win32 (VC6++ compiled) for the test userid "cwhuang" we get a different value each time the utility is executed. Is this normal? sample ini file section:- [Password] KeyFilled=123 CheckID=TRUE PasswordTimeout=0 cwhuang=lHzoWjR9kyI= On re-executing addpasswd each time, we get the following iterations replacing the entry above:- cwhuang=U9MHho0OnQk= cwhuang=VbzktbzIFaA= cwhuang=iMfNsdHvPQg= However, if the pasword is exactly 7 characters long, the encoded password is constant. #userid: cwhuang; password: 1234567; cwhuang=dKaN2znU+xc= Also should this utility be used to generate encoded passwords for the MySQLAuth and MySQLAliasAuth sections? If the encoding is different for each useage, will it be okay to do so?
