Yes, I created the file in notepad out of sheer despair (it is a plain text file). I changed the
string to eq but again incorrect authentication data.

2006-08-04 09:12:31 login authenticator failed for ([192.168.11.26]) [192.168.11.1]: 535
Incorrect authentication data

But I have it in format of username:password. I tried to use /etc/passwd but it also did not
help.

Should it be user id? Anyway, I tried changing the auth file to say:
1003: PASSWORD
(I saw this id in /etc/passwd file).

2006-08-04 09:16:49 login authenticator failed for ([192.168.11.26]) [192.168.11.1]: 535 Incorrect authentication data (set_id=zbyszek)
2006-08-04 09:16:51 login authenticator failed for ([192.168.11.26]) [192.168.11.1]: 535 Incorrect authentication data

Any other idea what to try? Sorry to bother!
