Hi all,

I have found someone who wants to be a DJ on my server. The only thing is, that the password I use to connect to the icecast server is my private one, so I need to create another password whick also works, but how?

Thanks!

If the other DJ will be streaming on a different mountpoint then specify their username/password with the <mount> section for that stream. If it's the same mountpoint then it's a bit more complicated but possible.

THanks Karl, By the way, I just discoverd that the dumpfile option is not working, In the Icecast rootdirectory I made a directory called 'tmp' in the configfile I specified it as the following: <dump-file>/tmp/stream1.mp3</dump-file> , but it doesnt work, it isnt recording. Why not?

not much to go on. check the error log, you should see the dump file setting in there around the time the other <mount> options are applied. You should also see any attempt to open it for writing.

From the logfile:[2008-08-22 18:01:44] WARN source/source.c Cannot open dump file "/tmp/stream1.mp3" for appending: No such file or directory, disabling.Do I have to create the file myself?

It's probably because the directory doesn't exist. Based on the name specified either you are running on windows and therefore /tmp doesn't exist or you are running within a chroot and you don't have a /tmp directory inside your chroot jail.
