hello ! I've just installed the debian package icecast2 (I have the icecast 1.3.12 before) and I have a doubt about the passwords. In the icecast 1.3.* we should use the mkpasswd for our pass and put the crypted output to icecast.conf file. Isn't possible in the icecast.xml file?? (perhaps is not necessaty, I don't know). If this is so, can I change the permissions to this file to something like 660 ? Need the icecast user to read this file? ok, thanks for all. regards, pau. <p><p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Need the icecast user to read this file?The only user that needs to read the icecast.xml file is the user under which the Icecast2 process runs. If you chown the icecast.xml file to the user that runs the Icecast2 process, then you can change the permissions to 600 if you want. -rbb -- Remco B.

You should make it readable only by the user you run icecast as.
