I kinda wondered about that myself - but i'm using Notepad in windowsfor editing the files - so would have thought it was fine... However... on checking, my conf file that IS working also has the sameissue when run from the command prompt - but it still works. In the mean-time, I checked, and the files ARE saved in UTF-8 format -so have saved in ANSI, and it's cleared it up for both, and now the NTauthentication is working :D Thanks for the assistance... I was running out of hair to pull out lol.
