Subject:   apache13-fp-modssl problem with passwords

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I finally got the frontpage 2k patch version of apache working correctly
and as far as I know the security is much much better.  I am having one
problem which I can't seem to figure out and it has been consistantly
the same no matter what version of apache or frontpage I try to run.
Anytime a user tries to publish a page from the client, or perform
anyother operation as an author/administrator, there is a password
mismatch.  I have checked the passwords and they are correct.  md5 and
des are installed on the box, md5 being the default.  I believe that
there might possibly be an encryption problem, however I'm unsure what
to do about it.  I have read a couple  threads on the newslsts from 1997
when someone had this problem, but no answer was really given other then
"FreeBSD 'should' support both once you have the secure package
installed".  I have that installed, but md5 is still the default for
obvious reasons.  I really don't want to change everything over to des
fully because of other problems that might cause with things I have
running now....not including having to change every user password on the
system.  Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated on how to
find out if this is really the problem and/or possible solutions...
