Cannot get commandchannel work:

1. created Password: echo hiawatha|md5
2. Set CommandChannel = 81,a93c98241256f516708aaa149f0034c4 in httpd.conf

Trying telnet localhost 81 but entering the password above gives "Password incorrect".
Also tried it with echo -e "hiawatha\n" (just in case the newline is also part of the password - same result.

And yes, commandchannel was enabled when compiling...

Hiawatha version: 6.15
Operating System: FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE

The \n sign should not be included when creating a password hash:

echo -n "hiawatha" | md5

That will result in: 90a3e0e7af307cf631ec83fc06b63800

Thanks, that dit it.
