Hi all!

I install VLS on Debian. VideoLAN Server 0.5.4+cvs20031028.

Here my config - vls.cfg:
BEGIN "VLS"
LogFile = "/var/log/vls.log"
SystemLog = "enable"
ScreenLog = "enable"
END

BEGIN "Groups"
monitor = "help|browse|logout"
master = "help|browse|start|resume|suspend|forward|rewind|stop|shutdown|logout"
END

BEGIN "Users"
monitor = "monitor:monitor" # password is 'monitor'
admin = "admin:master" # password is 'admin'
END

BEGIN "interfaces"

telnet = "telnet" # port to use for that purpose
END

BEGIN "Telnet"
LocalPort = "9999"
Use = "true"
LocalAddress = "127.0.0.1"
END

BEGIN "Input"
local1 = "local"
FilesPath = "/home/volna"
ProgramCount = "1"

BEGIN "Local1"
ProgramCount = "1"
TrickPlay = "normal"
END

BEGIN "1" # MPEG2 stream stored
Name = "dolby"
FileName = "Dolby.vob"
Type = "Mpeg2-PS"
END

BEGIN "localhost" # The client is on the same host as the server
DstHost = "localhost"
DstPort = "1234"
END

Port:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9999 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

When i try login to vls console [user - admin; pass - admin], i got message:
root@stream:/etc/videolan/vls# telnet localhost 9999
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.

In vls.log:
2007-05-02 16:29:53 [INFO/Vls] Processing incoming connection from 127.0.0.1

2007-05-02 16:30:26 [WARN/Vls] Authentication failed for user "monitor"

What wrong???

At Windows with the same config - OK.
Maybe VLS only work at Windows ...

Hello,
use VLC and please read the documentation.
(you use very old and very deprecated VLS version /last is v0.5.6/, you have to tune your vls.cfg, VLS works in linux too;-)
