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.

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 From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Moe Elzubeir" To: Subject: Re: gnats passwords Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2001 14:01:00 -0000 Message-ID: X-SW-Source: 2001-q4/msg00255.html Message-ID: <20011220140100.ipp4tmr9IEkNALstnTh_FXUeJIeQ5_3I7oZBhC82n2w@z> Actually you are right.
