FYI. One-liner work-around:

npm config set _auth `node -e "console.log(new Buffer('your_username:your_password').toString('base64'));"`

This is related to npm/npm-registry-couchapp#125 when dealing with replications of _users and public_users. Death to public_users!

[toddself]

@indexzero thank you for the help!

[nicholasf]

Thanks @indexzero , this just saved me.

I just try the workaround but I'm still unable to publish

❯ npm publish
npm ERR! need auth auth and email required for publishing
npm ERR! need auth You need to authorize this machine using `npm adduser`

...
npm ERR! node -v v0.10.22
npm ERR! npm -v 1.3.14

Same problem here: every NPM command that need authentication fail (even with @indexzero hack) !
I can do npm install but no chance to make these commands work : npm login, npm star, npm publish...

Output of npm login command:

@MoOx This might help: https://gist.github.com/coolaj86/1318304
You have to set up your info and then make sure to npm adduser

Also, I was running into a lot of issues, didn't try indexzero's hack, but since this was my first time publishing I tried this:

I initially wanted my version to be 0.0.1 because it was the first iteration... but I guess npm wasn't having any of that; I changed the package.json file to version 0.0.0 and npm publish was happy

[MoOx]

Thanks @bdharrington7, I figured out by myself (but forgot to mention it here).
I confirm this works like you said.

[smikes]

Is this still a problem for you?

We are trying to clean up older npm issues, so if we don't hear back from you within a week, we will close this issue. (Don't worry -- you can always come back again and open a new issue!)

Thanks!

[toddself]

No this has been totally resolved for like a year now ;)
