Okay, I grabbed the entries that need to go into the vars_wordlets_mods.cgi file from the hack in the 6.0x finished mods forum, and was at least able to read what I was supposed to do.
I went in and manually added the username||password to the file in the members/identities directory and it works...for me. I still can't get it to write the user and pass info to that directory though, it's still writing o byte files.
Any help would be more than greatly appreciated.
