In the properties of acl_users, I found a checkbox 'Encrypt user passwords' and enabled it, then clicked on 'Update existing passwords'. The result was that users could not log in anymore, not even when I turned the checkbox off again (and clicked 'Update...'). What's the deal here? -- Martin F.

It's broken. I filed a bug and it's been fixed in 2.6.1. It's been broken since some time in 2.5 at least. I feel like I should apologize but I'm just another victim.

Na, don't apologize. This is open-source, we're all in it. I don't apologize for Debian bugs... ;^> Thanks for letting me know. -- Martin F.

If you do this, and passwords are already encrypted, then they get encrypted again, which could be the reason you are having problems. This bug has been fixed for 2.6.1. You probably need to go in and set new passwords for your users. I hope they aren't too many. :-)

You know the "Undo" facility. To get fast to a working state again. Dieter
