Select "Setup" from the top menue" Activate "Use Authentication". Now you should see three more input fields. Two to change your login credentials and one to set a "Local net" from which no login will be required. I strongly recommend that you use the login. Otherwise everybody from the internet can access your vdr. (And problably 0wn your whole network. As I understand it the vdr code has hardly been audited for security and due to the plugin architecture a buffer overflow in one plugin would compromises the vdr process that (depending on your setup) may even run as root). If you insist on getting hacked you can set the "Local net" to something like 0.0.0.0/0 This would disable the password question, no matter where you come from. cheers -henrik _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
