     RE: authentication problem

Hi, thanks and Also to Rick Robino. Yes I used crypt and it works now.
The other question I have is how are these different levels affected?
Does each level have different rights? I would assume so. I tried to do
an entry in update but all is tells me is the user level and doest seem
to put any text in update. is this a specific level?

Thanks
Zaid

Is the passwd made with crypt? if not thats the error - try to take the
crypted password from you /etc/passwd and make the fil look something
like
this:

username:2viXF7c0PVOhY:1

As I remember it there are 4 userlevels.

Best Regards 
Lasse
