Everything works fine, except the password authentication - I have to manually copy a password from a FreeBSD generated password file to the MS Frontpage password file (thanks to an earlier posting to this list I saved many hours of pulling hair). The FreeBSD passwords are MD5 and the FrontPage appear to be DES. My questions are thus: It appears Apache does the authentication of users coming in with MD5 and FrontPage is creating the passwords with its Administrator function using DES. Is this a correct synopsis? What is the best way to fix this? Should I compile my system using the DES crypt? What exactly is the method of switching from MD5 to DES - I didn't see it mentioned in the handbook, it only talked about how to recognize which you have installed. Do I need to use a compile flag for this? Thanks, Gib
