One should use the mod_auth_external-2.1.12-1mdk.i586.rpm one from the 8.1 contrib directory. > 5.

It's more direct. It's always difficult to choose the right user interface ... We have different point of views even here, between developpers ... :o) More about SNF, the are more problems about SNF in cooker because of the latest php packages: php-gd to more exact. The index on the left side of the screen is composed by images with text: generated by some php functions (that one can find in the php-gd package). This doesn't work with the latest php packages. So, please install the 8.1 php packages (libpng2 will be also required, you don't need it but you need to create a link: ln -sf /usr/lib/libpng.so.3.1.2.1 /usr/lib/libpng.so.2) You don't need the required apache packages from the 8.1 distro ... have a nice day, -- Florin http://www.mandrakesoft.com
