[Refdb-users] references go in, but don't come out

[Markus H. <hoe...@co...>]

Hi Bill,

this looks to me like the result of command line quoting gone
wild. Do you use config files or do you pass username and password on
the command line to refdbc?

Could you run the "set" command in refdbc and compare the displayed
values with what you expect (it won't tell you the password though)?
Next would be to use "set username <name>" and "set passwd <password>"
interactively and see whether this cures the problem.

Another thing is to run both client and server with a log level of
7. This should tell you where the username/password thing gets
mangled.

If nothing helps, please run the "refdb-bug" script and send the file
refdb-bug.txt (in the current working directory) to the list. This
might give a few more clues.

regards,
Markus
