Hi, referring to my earlier message about having problems with rootd not authenticating my password, I (with a little help of my friends) found the solution. My Linux box uses shadow passwords and this has two consequences: o) rootd MUST be compiled with -DSHADOWPW. This is documented in the makefiles. o) rootd MUST be run with root priveleges. Unfortunately, this is not documented anywhere I looked. I now run rootd through inetd and everything goes smoothly. Pretty impressive stuff actually! BTW, in the process of checking I did compile rootd on a DEC unix 4 system with cxx 6. I have a makefile for this system, perhaps this could be added to the rootd distribution. cheers, Stefan ---Stefan Kluth---------------Lynen Fellow----------------|\--|\------- - LBNL, MS 50A 2160 - phone: +1 510 495 2376 - |/ |/ - - 1 Cyclotron Rd. - fax: +1 510 495 2957 - |\/\|\/\|' - ---Berkeley, CA94720, USA-----e-mail: SKluth@lbl.gov------|/\/|/\/|----
