Re: pserver unrecognized auth error.

[mike walster]

I am using version 1.11.5
I had some trouble when moving from 1.11

my server args in xinet.d/pserver were
-f --allow-root /blah -f --allow-root /blah/blah etc.
(note the spaces)
I kept getting unrecognized auth

I found that if I changed to my server args to 
-f --allow-root=/blah -f --allow-root=/blah/blah that it worked again.
I have not had good luck unless I specified -f --allow-root for each dir.
I did not do any further investigation after I got it
working. Also I am no cvs expert but that is what worked for
me. Hope it helps
