That's ok, this patch is pretty raw. There isn't a test for Unix auth
yet.

BTW, just for anyone reading the sandweb-users list, this is an
experimental patch we're trying to get working. You shouldn't have this
much trouble with the latest RC :)

Hmm.. that's weird. I'll check my version again, but mine seems to be
working ok. Were you not getting images in the toolbar?

Yeah, you have to create that dir by hand.. Interesting that it's saying
"reiuser logged on", seems to indicate that it's working. Dunno why
you're getting two logs of everything.

Do you know about the debug setting in sandweb.cfg ? It sends extra
debug output to the browser and to the log file; if it's still not
working try with debug on and send the output.

You sure /var/www/sandweb/share/users/reiuser/ exists and is writable by
the Apache user? That should be all there is to it. Does .user.cfg exist
in that directory?

BTW "/var/www/sandweb/share" isn't a good place to have the users stuff;
there are things in there you definitely don't want browsable. The
default of "/usr/local/share" is more secure.

Heh.. oh, I don't know. I get alot of enjoyment from this stuff,
although I have been wanting to get the next Dune book I haven't read (Heretics 
of Dune). I'd prefer a used copy, since I am really into recycling/reuse. I've
been using the library alot lately but their selection isn't always so
hot.



Thanks,
