Ser Version: ser 0.8.11rc4 (i386/linux) - Downloaded from http://iptel.org/ser/tarball After downloading the .tgz on August 23: 1. Installed latest version of MySQL 2. ran: make all 3. ran: make install 4. performed steps outlined in Dan Austin's HOWTO to enable MySQL authentication in ser.cfg 5. Added user/s 6. Restarted ser I noticed that users not in the database could still register with ser. FHI - There seams to be a discrepancy between Dan Austin's HOWTO and the INSTALL document on http://iptel.org <http://iptel.org/> . Dan's only mentioned uncommenting /usr/lib/ser/modules/mysql.so where the INSTALL document mentions loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/ser/modules/auth.so" as well. The reality is, there is a third line namely loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/ser/modules/auth_db.so". Regardless, I tried all variations. Just to be sure, I re-installed the MySQL module: make include_modules=mysql install Any ideas why my test users can still register without authentication? Why my users with valid accounts added via serctl seem to register rather than authenticate? Thanks, Chad
