[icecast] Icecast [Bad Password]

[Joe Jones]

I used an underscore ( _ ) and a couple of upper case characters for the 
passwords but after taking them out it didn't change the situation.

<p><p>I had originally hardcoded the hostname address as '10.0.0.5' (where both 
Icecast and Ices is running), and when set up like this, the client would 
hang.

I have since changed it so that the hostname is now 'localhost' and now the 
client doesn't hang, but will continually retry connection attemps only to 
fail with a "Login Failed" message from Ices.

With the Hostname as 'localhost' Icecast shows

--------------------------------------
[localhost] [Failed to execute admin command]
[localhost] [Bad Password] [encoder]
[localhost] [Bad Password] [encoder]
.
.
.
[localhost] [Bad Password] [encoder]
--------------------------------------

<p><p>Where Ices reports:

-------------------------------------
Mount failed on http://localhost:8001/stream, error: Socket error
Mount failed on http://localhost:8001/stream, error: Login failed
Mount failed on http://localhost:8001/stream, error: Login failed
.
.
.
Mount failed on http://localhost:8001/stream, error: Login failed
-------------------------------------

<p>Could it be that when Ices initiates a connection for the first time, 
Icecast attempts to run a admin command which fails and thus fubar's any 
other connection attemp from Ices?
