RE: [misterhouse-users] TELNET/ SET PASSWORD NOT WORKING AFTER UPGRADE

[Bruce W. <br...@mi...>]

The .password file is pointed to with the mh.ini password_file parm, which
by default is $config_parms{data_dir}/.password

Oops ... just reviewed the code and I see that set_password looks for mh.ini
parm pw_file, not password_file!  So not finding that, it will default to
{data_dir}/.password  independent of what you had set for password_file.  I
just fix that with the 2nd line here:

    $parms{pw_file} = $config_parms{pw_file}                 unless
$parms{pw_file};
    $parms{pw_file} = $config_parms{password_file}           unless
$parms{pw_file};

Not sure what the problem is with the widget error (mayb tk is not installed
right?), but you can work around that with this example (from
set_password -h):

 set_password -user admin  -password xyz1
 set_password -user family -password xyz2

I upgraded from 2.77 to 2.79 with only a few problems.

1.    The Telnet is now asking for a password when it did not before.
Cannot find a .password file anywhere, and when I try to set a password,

2.    Set Password does not work. When I try to run it without parameters it
gives me some errors:

    a.    File '.../../.password file or directory not found
    b.    Wiget error at line 156

The 2 must be related somehow.  Also when I try to use the feature to bypass
password protection on certain IP addresses it ignores and asks for
passwords still.

Question is where is the password file hiding?
