I have the web server configured so that it asks for a username and password at the correct pages, but I can never seem to get a match. (i.e. when I type in my username and password, I always get rejected with a mistmatch on password.) I suspect that it is in the password file I made. I took my passwd from master.passwd and pasted it into the web server passwd file. I used to run CERN HTTPD, and it came with a utility htadm it add people to password files, but I had the same problem that web server --- could not match passwords. I took it as an omen and upgraded! I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.0, Apache 1.1.1. I think things other than where I located Apache on my computer are very normal. Does anybody know of a utility that adds users to this file? Does anybody know what's wrong and better yet, how to fix it? Can you PLEASE send email to me, as well as posting to the group. TIA, Chris Inacio inacio@micro.ti.com
