Upgrade! 2.3 is old, and I'm not terribly sure whether it supports username/password combo's (though I could be wrong).. Here what my access file says.. # "auth" in the permissions field dictates that AUTHINFO authorisation # is required for the line to have any effect. (username/password, as # per /etc/passwd or NIS). The auth type can be further specified with # '=' and ';' to seperate additional arguments. i.e # # auth=arg1;arg2;...argn # # where arg1 is the authentication method, "user/pass" or "sasl" # and arg2 is the authenticator i.e "ldap", "passwd", "pipe", or # "radius". # for example # # auth=user/pass;passwd # or # auth=user/pass;ldap [etc..] Peter. -- Until I loved, life had no beauty; I did not know I lived until I had loved.
