Hi,
In the Icecast configuration file, there is a
[...]
<relay-password>hackme</relay-password>
[...]
What is it for?
I have multiple Icecast server that relay each others and the relays are
considered as simple clients.
That is confirmed by the...
[...]
<relay>
<server>127.0.0.1</server>
<port>8001</port>
<mount>/example.ogg</mount>
<local-mount>/different.ogg</local-mount>
<on-demand>0</on-demand>
<relay-shoutcast-metadata>0</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
</relay>
[...]
...where there is not mention of any password.
Would you just give me how to use that passwdord in a Icecast-only
server farm?

So relay-password in the master must match the master-password in the slave. karl
