   Hello mark,   
      
   On Friday May 01 2020 16:01, you wrote to Tommi Koivula:

   Binkd does nothing with the packets. As you once said it is "just a filer". It   
   is other software, such as a tosser that deals with the packets. There is   
   nothing stopping sysops from having the binkd session password different from   
   the tosser's packet password.   
      
   In fact some say NOT having them the same increases security.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
