I got coda up and running (version 5.3.15), both client and server. As long as I use the first account, with a password of "changeme" then I can clog in and use the system. When I tried to change the password for my second user I get something like: % au nu Your Vice name: coda Your password: RPC2_Bind() --> RPC2_SUCCESS Vice user: dhelrod New password: hello2 New info: David Elrod AuthNewUser() --> AUTH_FAILED % I get something similar when I try to change the "coda" accounts password to something a bit more secure (than "changeme"). Here is my user list: % pdbtool pdbtool> list USER System * id: 1 * belongs to groups: [ -2 ] * cps: [ -2 1 ] * owns groups: [ -2 ] USER coda * id: 98 * belongs to groups: [ -1 ] * cps: [ -1 98 ] * owns groups: [ -1 ] USER dhelrod * id: 1000 * belongs to no groups * cps: [ 1000 ] * owns no groups GROUP System:AnyUser OWNED BY System * id: -2 * owner id: 1 * belongs to no groups * cps: [ -2 ] * has members: [ 1 ] GROUP System:Administrators OWNED BY coda * id: -1 * owner id: 98 * belongs to no groups * cps: [ -1 ] * has members: [ 98 ] pdbtool> exit % It looks, to this beginner, that the user "coda" is in the "System:Administrators" group (id: -1). >From an earlier email, this user should be allowed to change the password for the user "dhelrod". Looking at the log files hasn't been much help. When I modified /etc/rc.d/init.d/auth2.init to give the "-x 99" flag to get debug messages, I still can't see any details logged to the log file (/vice/auth2/AuthLog). I get a startup message: Starting Auth Server...... but nothing else. I tried running "au -x nu" to see if I could get more explaination, and had no luck. I looked through the server log (/vice/svr/SvrLog-1) but there didn't seem to be any applicable messages there. Likewise, my system longs (/var/log/*) don't get updated on failure. Does anyone have something else to try? ------------------------------------------------------------------- David Hunter Elrod Rivendell Technologies, Inc dhelrod_at_rivendell.com 1111 W.
