Re: make test hangs

I did find some discussion of old HP-UX patches that fixed problems with stat calls that some of HP's apps had. There are no particulars and none pertain to system libraries, so they were no help. The issue here may be that I'm a relative novice when it comes to C/C++ programming. For instance,

Hi Dan, We are using mod_auth_tkt to solve the problem of having backend servers handle authentication, but front end reverse proxies handle access control. Here's a link: http://www.openfusion.com.au/labs/mod_auth_tkt/ There are a couple other variation out there as well. HTH, Aaron Dan Horne wr

I understand. I've already appealed to a perl.HPUX list to no avail. I've only been dealing with HP-UX myself for about a year now (mostly Linux and Solaris before this). I agree though. This is most likely not a problem with mod_perl itself, but rather some interaction with perl 5.6 and HP-UX.

Thanks for everyone's responses. I managed to get this working in principle by: 1) using mod_proxy and mod_rewite to create the proxy through to the server. 2) PerlAuth* handlers to determine user access Thanks Dan -Original Message- From: Dan Horne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Frid
