My turn to 'huh?'..... According to the 'users' man page (man 5 users): Attribute := Value Always matches as a check item, and replaces in the configuration items any attribute of the same name. My impression from the OP's first use of "==" was that he was hard-coding the password into the users file. So wouldn't the above code 'replace' the password, producing an 'always authenticates' kind of condition? The example in the users man itself is: EXAMPLES bob User-Password == "hello" Requests containing the User-Name attribute, with value "bob", will be authenticated using the password "bob". Which is, I think, a typo. It should say "authenticated with the password "hello", shouldn't it? - Charles
