Actually you are right. But that only works when the passwords are in plain-text. For example, testguy:$0$testguy:admin:default entry in the gnatsd.acess file would let you in as admin even if gnats.host_acess is set to 'view'. But, as soon as I encrypt the password (haven't tested md5 yet), it doesn't seem to care. I think we have a bug.. should I enter a PR for this one? —- Mohammed Elzubeir >>> Rick Macdonald 12/20/01 03:04PM >>> On Thu, 20 Dec 2001, Moe Elzubeir wrote: > > > So far I have been able to get everything to run smoothly ;) > > However, I am still very confused about the usr/password and gnatsd.host_acess.

Any ideas? In version 3.x (I don't think they changed it for V4?), the user's access can increase the access level granted in host_access, but not lower it. ...RickM... _______________________________________________ Help-gnats mailing list Help-gnats@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnats
