[scponly] changing passwords remotely over scponly .. what am I doing wrong ?

[Kaleb Pederson]

The debuglevel file's location is based on what --prefix is set to when the 
install is done.  I'm not sure what it would be set to on FreeBSD, so I can't 
be of much help.  If you can grab the configure line that ports use, that 
should tell you what it is set to.

Two common cases might be /usr/local/etc/scponly/debugelevel 
and /opt/etc/scponly/debuglevel.

Since -t didn't help, we will probably need the extra debugging info to find 
out.

Can you provide the configure line and the additional logging?

Thanks.
