Nothing personal, just that people seem mmore willing to shout "revert" than to look and fix it. You did do that - so apologies if it sounded like I was having a go. :-) My biggest complaint is the lack of documentation or attempt at documentation of the revised config. I'm more than willing to try the new code and new config options, but if I can't find anything that tells me how to make the change it's hard. Auth config has never been the easiest thing in the first place. It seems that every time about how to make the changes I ask I'm just told to "use the compat module". Are people trying to move things along or not? > >> I've just committed a change that should make it build on your system. > > Yes, this fixes it. Thank you very much for doing so. np. Apologies for it taking so long.
