[icecast] Ices -> Icecast Authentication Failure

Hello, list --
Sorry for the dumb post about confirmation -- I've always wanted to run
majordomo so I could see how this stuff works. Whoops! I guess replying
to the email really isn't the thing to do -- even though it explicitly
states it as an option...
My problem, outside of list etiquette, is this: having compiled all the
latest, installed, etc., ... having read all I can find on-line,
including the archives for this list, I'm still stumped. I fudged a bit
on compiling, but, assuming the proggies are working.
I just recompiled ices 023 to suppport xml. Now it reads the config file
(was just sending config on command line). I'm kind've learning as I go,
fine.
I'll attach the configuration files I'm using below. Icecast loads when
I point it to the xml config, waits. If I http://myip:8000/???? I always
get 'The source you requested could not be found.' as an error. Telnet
just fails, killing the session, whatever I put in followed by 2
newlines. But my problem isn't remote administration...
When I load ices, it fails authentication. I've tried all combinations
of passwords, specifying mountpoints, server i.p. vs 'localhost' vs
127.0.0.1, etc, etc. Always the same result. '401 Authentication Faulure'.
I'm not a compiler junkie, so, looking through the makefile for icecast,
I seen no mention of compile option for encryption... I didn't ask for
it on the command line... no 'mkpassswd' is in my /usr/local/bin folder
And, anyway, if I specify a normal, unencrypted pass in the config file,
what does it need if it's encryption enabled? Or, how do I find out if
it is expecting a crypted pass?
Seems to be the most likely culprit from what I've read, but, I don't
know. I opened up port forwarding on the router/firewall, but, I'm
working entirely on the local machine...
I feel, since this works for other folks, that I'm missing some big
piece of the equation. Maybe someone can shed a little wisdom? I'm
stuck. I could go back and recompile everything, bu(As if that was
working...)
TIA
