While on the subject of DES and randnum authentication. I have successfully
compiled against libdes, and logged in using 2 way randnum authentication.
However, I got the impression from auth.c in the afp code, and probably
something I read somewhere, that I could change password when using 2-way
randnum. I have yet to successfully do so. Has anyone managed to get this
working?
Cam.
