Sad re-building group/password files makes bad group files for NCSA httpd 

Forum: HyperNews Installation
Date: 1996, Feb 11
From: Blaine Price

I've installed version 1.9B1 with a fairly large user group (which I created without using the Hypernews scripts, I have other perl scripts to create the users from an admin database), but when I (re-run) setup-form.pl and tell it to re-build the group file it adds everyone under group All1 which causes the NCSA httpd server to blow up on anyone's authentication.

I've also found that when I put in a second "installation" using sym links and re-use an existing user subgroup directory and ask for the group and password files to be re-built then it includes all the dot files as members in the .htgroupmembers file.

A fix for the first problem would be most appreciated as I'm using this to teach about 300 students and I can't give them a common conference... cheers, _Blaine
