   Post the line you have in your [nodes] section for this node that failed.   
      
   The spaces you use between the fields are important in some spots, I've found.   
      
   Here's one that always works correctly (Kim and I tested it to get the exact   
   spacing):   
      
   2:222/2      passwd  passwd  passwd  passwd  XFG C   2   
      
   Compare this exact line to the one you have for that node that failed.   
      
   so in a copy of external.bbb (you don't want to save this) check the spacing   
   between the fields:   
      
   2:250/1      passwrd  passwrd  passwrd  passwrd  XFG C   2   
   2:222/2      passwrd  passwrd  passwrd  passwrd  XFG C   2   
      
   See if they match up with this example for 2:222/2.   
      
   Maybe that's the problem if you've checked that the passwords match?   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
