Multiple Databases - Single Password file?
Can you have multiple databases that use a single password file? The databases are in separate directories and have separate cgi scripts.

Not if they are in separate directories, and especially not if they use different db.cgi scripts. If you put all of your databases in the same directory and use one db.cgi script for all of them, you can use one password file.

Actually, not to be argumentitive, but yes you can have multiple databases share the same password file. Smile

Just make sure the config file points to the proper directory, you may need to switch from :

$auth_pw_file = $db_script_path . "/default.pass";

to:

$auth_pw_file = '/full/path/to/default.pass';
