Title: Security / Authentication locked me out
Post by: cyboreal on September 23, 2004, 11:16:46 am

I tried to enable the security in OPIE 1.1.6 under the assumption that my root password would get me back in after suspending.  I couldn't get back in at all - everything I tried was rejected ('Try Again...').  I had assumed that not having any plugins listed merely meant that my password was the only way back in.  If a plug-in is required, I would have thought that OPIE would not allow me to enable security without one.  Is there something I missed, or is this a bug?

Woops, I also ran into this problem just now!  
Cyboreal, did you find a solution besides re-flashing?

You have to install opie-securityplugin-* (where "*" is what you choose)

I had to reflash.  Hrw, can the default for the security feature be set to 'do nothing' if it doesn't find any plugins, instead of assuming there is something installed?  Or maybe a default plugin (root password login?) could be included with the security package out-of-the-box?
