the zpasswd.py file mentions three different encoding options - SHA, UNIX and CLEARTEXT - the question is what is the browser using? admin:abc123
Ie the password is being sent in the clear.
If I understand it correctly, the encoding option only applies to the access file. Authentication 'on the wire' uses HTTP Basic Authentication, so the password is allways sent in plain text.
There's no special script supplied with the source distribution that goes into the /etc/init.d area
Well, it's allways possible to use the script from the RPM of course. It's amazing to see the trouble it goes through just to start and stop the server :-) Regards, Rene Pijlman
