Re: [Gnump3d-users] Question about password protection

[Ross Mohn]

Right you are, I never caught that one! It can be fixed by explicitly
setting the following in your /etc/gnump3d/gnump3d.conf file:

        enable_password_protection = 1

but is more correctly fixed by making sure there is a 1 as the second
parameter in all these statements within /usr/bin/gnump3d:

        my $pass = &getConfig( "enable_password_protection", 1 );

Around line #1060, where it checks for plugin permissions, it was set to
0! I'll update http://waxandwane.org/view.cgi/gnump3d/ shortly with this
information as well.
Cheers! -Ross
