Hmm. I just realized that I don't have the file either. but I do have icecast working. What you need to do (and what I don't remember having to do before, so it must have changed in the past 6 months or so...) is to run makepasswd to encrypt your password. It appears you need to use an input file containing your plaintext password - create that with a text editor, or with 'echo password > filename'. Then type 'makepasswd --crypt --clearfrom filename' and it will output the plaintext password followed by the encrypted version. Copy and paste that into /etc/icecast/icecast.conf -- Jon-o Addleman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
