Charles, I did get thttpd to work with my existing Weblet implementation. Wow is it ever fast !!! Authentication works if I manually create a ".htpasswd" file in my /cgi-bin/ directory. At this point, I only need to be concerned with authenticated connections to this folder.
My question is: Do we have any tools available that have been compiled for Bering to generate the password file (htpasswd)? Preferably one that will do both the password change and encryption/hash.

Yes, although you may or may not find that it will work for you. Thttpd protects files on a per-directory basis, based on the presence (and contents of) an AUTH_FILE. Note that the protection is *NOT* heirerichal, ie: if you have: foo/AUTH_FILE then the files in foo/ AND ONLY IN foo/ are protected. Files in other directories, such as: foo/subdir1/secret.file will *NOT* be require authentication. This stems from thttpd being priamrily aimed at high-speed, low-overhead static file serving (recursive protection requires traversing the directory tree up to the document root when serving each file). You may find one of the other small web-servers to be more appropriate, and you can always patch thttpd to check all requests against a central AUTH_FILE (IIRC, this has been done by someone already, a google search would probably find it). -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
