It is used, but it isn't directly used by a person. The database, mysql, has it's own accounts just like an operating system does. Different database users can have different permissions w/in the database. The Rivendell programs use the rduser and rd.conf password to interact with the database. So the password in rd.conf does matter, in that it has to exist, but it doesn't matter what it's set to. ...Kevin -- Kevin Miller - http://www.alaska.net/~atftb Juneau, Alaska In a recent survey, 7 out of 10 hard drives preferred Linux Registered Linux User No: 307357, http://counter.li.org _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
