  • custom auth not executing

    From Nigel Reed@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 10 12:10:33 2023
    Hi team,

    What have my idiot fingers typed wrong this time?

    At the bottom of my readers.conf file I have the following:

    auth all {
    auth: "/news/bin/auth/passwd/ckpasswd -f
    /news/etc/usenet.passwords" }

    access full {
    users: *
    newsgroups: *
    }

    auth "bbs" {
    hosts: "192.138.210.158, 2604:880:52:866:f1d0:1:124:5016"
    auth: "/usr/local/bin/usenet-auth"
    }

    access "bbs" {
    users: *
    read: *
    post: "*, !control.*,!junk.*"
    }


    However, when I connect from 192.138.210.158 and try to authenticate,
    the only thing logged it the ckpasswd entry.

    From what I'm reading, innd checks readers.conf from the bottom up for
    a match, which it should find.

    I'm open to suggestions on how to fix this...

    Thanks,


    Nevermind, I turned trace on and I see it trying to use my custom
    script in the logs.

    Thanks,
