Hmm..   Well its running but everytime a source tries to connect it 
says:
> [26/Oct/2002:12:41:16] Kicking source 10 [pt004rdt013.res.uvic.ca] 
[Bad Password] [encoder], connected for 0 seconds, 0 bytes 
transfered. -1 sources connected
-> [26/Oct/2002:12:41:16] Kicking all 0 clients for source 10

I did what you suggested, and the output of makepasswd was:
boxserver:/etc/icecast/etc# makepasswd --crypt --clearfrom temp
icecast    178UHCz5f3wWU
then I copied that into my icecast.conf file so I have a line like 
this:
encoder_password 178UHCz5f3wWU

Is that right?

Thanks,
Leo
