    TK>>> The best way is to set the same pkt and session password.   
      
    ml>> exactly and since the packet header has only eight characters   
    ml>> allocated for the packet password, there we are ;)   
      
    MvdV> Binkd does nothing with the packets. As you once said it is "just   
    MvdV> a filer". It is other software, such as a tosser that deals with   
    MvdV> the packets. There is nothing stopping sysops from having the   
    MvdV> binkd session password different from the tosser's packet password.   
      
   on the one hand, this is true... if one is talking about binkd... my part of   
   the discussion was leaning more toward binkp, though...   
      
   i'm not saying that it is correct for mailers to validate packets against the   
   session password... i'm just saying that there are/were some that do/did...   
      
    MvdV> In fact some say NOT having them the same increases security.   
      
   yeah, i've heard that, too ;)
