Package: mldonkey-server Version: 2.7.3-1 Followup-For: Bug #270476
I'm not 100% sure how the mldonkey password system for the html gui works. I'm experiencing the following behaviour: 1. When I first installed one of the more recent mldonkey versions, the html gui asked for a password. Since I don't want any authentication for the html gui, I commented out the users-section in the users.ini file (maybe then this was still located in the downloads.ini - I'm not sure, but I think it doesn't matter anyway). When starting mldonkey-server after that the authentication dialog was gone. 2. Whenever the mldonkey-server package is updated now, the authentication dialog reappears and I have to go to the procedure described above. As far as I can see, the postinst script creates the users.ini file. It checks for a variable mldonkey-sever/password, which I think is empty in my case. At least I didn't set it anywhere; there's also no password-entry in /etc/defaults/mldonkey-server. So if the password is unset, the script creates an empty users.ini file and adds the admin user with an empty password afterwards. BUT: If this was the case, I should be able to log in to the html gui with user "admin" and an empty password. This doesn't work for me. Also, if I fire up mldonkey-server after I commented out the users-section in users.ini, the file gets replaced with one where the users-section is in again and has this content: users = [ (admin, "31D6CFE0D16AE931B73C59D7E0C089C0");] When I now stop the server and start it again, it still does not ask for a password?! That's the point I can't explain. In my understanding the authentication dialog should reappear then and ask for the admin user and its password. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mldonkey-server depends on: ii adduser 3.83 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.70 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.13.13 package maintenance system for Deb ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.3-2 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.3.6-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfreetype6 2.1.10-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-9 GCC support library ii libgd2-xpm 2.0.33-3 GD Graphics Library version 2 ii libjpeg62 6b-11 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii mime-support 3.35-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii ucf 2.005 Update Configuration File: preserv ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime mldonkey-server recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * mldonkey-server/password: (password omitted) * mldonkey-server/repassword: (password omitted) * mldonkey-server/max_hard_download_rate: 150 * mldonkey-server/launch_at_startup: true mldonkey-server/config_exist_no_options: * mldonkey-server/plugin: * mldonkey-server/mldonkey_group: mldonkey mldonkey-server/false_password: * mldonkey-server/max_hard_upload_rate: 7 * mldonkey-server/max_alive: 72 * mldonkey-server/run_as_user: mldonkey mldonkey-server/reown_file: false * mldonkey-server/mldonkey_niceness: 10 mldonkey-server/config_exist_no_dir: * mldonkey-server/fasttrack_problem: mldonkey-server/shared_directories: share * mldonkey-server/mldonkey_dir: /home/mldonkey * mldonkey-server/restart_after_upgrade: true * mldonkey-server/client_name: tfcxbt mldonkey-server/mldonkey_move: false * mldonkey-server/mldonkey_umask: 0000 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
