       But isn't it working as expected?  Not explicitly setting a session   
   password just means that a blank password is set, not that there isn't a   
   session password...  (Not that I've actually looked at the code,   
   though...)

       Why?  If a session password is not matched, how do you or your system   
   know where it is actually coming from?   (And I'll note, btw, that I use   
   session passwords even with local points...)   
      
       OTOH;  how it actually works should certainly be in the documentation...
