   "Warning: remote set UNSECURE session"

   ? 07:02 [1045] aborted by Perl after_handshake(): CRYPT mode is required.   
   Disconnecting ...   
   [...]   
      
   What I understand from the log is that it's a password protected session, but   
   the remote binkd does not offer CRYPT. I tried to reproduce this behaviour   
   with another binkd instance for testing, but I'm unable to get this warning. I   
   tried the -r parameter, but it seems to do nothing.   
      
   I'm also confused what UNSECURE means in that context. Without encryption? Or   
   unsecure / non-secure as in session without a password (but it clearly says   
   "pwd protected session (MD5)").   
      
   The warning is in protocol.c:   
      
    if (state->state == P_SECURE && strcmp(w, "non-secure") == 0)   
    {   
      state->crypt_flag=NO_CRYPT;   
      /* some development binkd versions send OPT CRYPT with unsecure session */   
      Log (1, "Warning: remote set UNSECURE session");   
      state->state_ext = P_REMOTE_NONSECURE;   
    }   
      
   I still don't understand what's going on there.
