Problems getting private password protected group working

[Julien ÉLIE]

Hi Aaron,Could you try to run ckpasswd by hand to see whether it reports any failure.  It is explained in the Examples section in:    https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/docs/ckpasswd.htmlIs generating the dbm password file with the Perl script from the description of the -d flag working better?  Maybe the format is different than the one "htdbm -cbB" generates.You may also try with -f (see the related option in the manual page) as long as -d doesn't work as expected.-- Julien
