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 ;)                     )\/(ark       --- SBBSecho 3.11-Linux        * Origin: SouthEast Star Mail HUB - SESTAR (1:3634/12)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 220/50 226/30 227/114 229/100 101       SEEN-BY: 229/200 426 664 1014 240/5832 249/109 307 317 292/854 342/200       PATH: 3634/12 640/1384 221/1 280/464 229/101 426           |
