    Hi!

    I have just moved my web server from linux FC4 to freebsd 5.4. What I have noticed is that in the apache module I could edit AuthUserFile for authentication purposes but now I don't have that option anymore.
    I can't verify if this is on freebsd only since I don't have linux anymore.
    Is this a bug or what?

    Regards,
    Sasa

      I am not sure about FreeBSD, but functions in Webmin are OS dependant. Lots of modules/functions appear and disappear based on what OS you are running. Sometimes its because the functionally is different for that OS and it just has not been added yet, so it doesn't appear..

      Yes, I know but Apache is cross platform and there are all the stuff the same.
      I would expect differences on some other sysadmin area and not on the Apache module.
      So for the editing AuthUserFile (or AuthGroupFile) is used htpasswd which is the same for all platforms. The strange thing is that I don't even get an option available when creating Directory directive.
      I have checked back on FC3 with the same version of Webmin (1.240) and there apache module works fine.
