    Hi,

    I just updated both Crypt::CBC and GnuHH to the actual versions as mentioned a thread ago.

    I got an "Internal Server Error" with this log-entry:

    Ciphertext does not begin with a valid header for 'salt' header mode at /home/httpd/cgi-bin/admin/admin.cgi line 3146
    [Fri Apr 28 16:10:17 2006] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] Premature end of script headers: /home/httpd/cgi-bin/admin/admin.cgi

    IMHO this problems wasn't solved in the other thread, how to deal with it? Thanks.

      For those with salt problems after upgrade make sure you have Crypt::CBC 2.17 installed on all servers with GNUHH modules.

      On some occassions do to distro related patches to Crypt::CBC there may need to be some extra adjustments made.  If you hop on IRC i'll do my best to help you with them.

        Yes, redragon and me worked one hour to bring a Debian upto the new GnuHH 2.03. The problem was, that in Debian stable only Crypt::CBC 1.12 is available. To solve this, DO NOT install Crypt::CBC a second time manually via CPAN! Just use the CBC-package from Debian testing, it works also in stable:

        wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libc/libcrypt-cbc-perl/libcrypt-cbc-perl_2.17-1_all.deb
        dpkg --install libcrypt-cbc-perl_2.17-1_all.deb

        After that, GnuHH 2.03 will work perfectly with Crypt::CBC 2.17 in Debian again.
