[icecast] NEWBIE QUESTION - ERROR [BAD PASSWORD]

[Lukas Bulwahn]

Thank you very much for the advice. It solved my problem.

<p>> The Debian Icecast server is compiled with password crypt support, which
> means you can't put the password in in cleartext.  You will have to
> 
> apt-get install makepasswd
> 
> and do something like
> 
> echo "password" > passwd.tmp
> makepassword --crypt --clearfrom=passwd.tmp
> 
> and paste the encrypted password in to your icecast.conf file.
> 
> Hope this helps.
