It might need some sort of minimal passwd under the anonymous directory. DO NOT COPY THE SYSTEM spwd.db INTO THERE!!! DO NOT CHMOD 666 THE SYSTEM spwd.db. Ever. Don't. The sky will fall. /etc/spwd.db contains your encrypted password strings; it shouldn't ever (except under extreme circumstances) be anything other than mode 600. --- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | Matthew Fuller http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd | * fullermd@futuresouth.com fullermd@over-yonder.net * | UNIX Systems Administrator Specializing in FreeBSD | * FutureSouth Communications ISPHelp ISP Consulting * | "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, | * is because I haven't figured out how to light the * | middle yet" | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
