      TID: FMail-lnx64 2.3.2.4-B20240523       RFC-X-No-Archive: Yes       TZUTC: 0100       CHRS: CP850 2       PID: GED+LNX 1.1.5-b20240306       MSGID: 2:280/464 6734bdcc       REPLY: 2:250/1@fidonet 6734b455       Hi Vincent,              On 2024-11-13 14:10:33, you wrote to All:               VC> I have a node that polls here every minute 24/7 with an unknown        VC> password.               VC> In order to satisfy their poll I need to set up the system here with the        VC> password used but cannot find out how to show it in the logs, but wsa       able in        VC> an earlier version some how.               VC> Can anyone provide what I need to do setup wise etc to recover this       password        VC> which if I can do this might stop this annoying behaviour.              If done correctly in the binkp protocol, the password is never send accross       the line, only checksums that are generated with the password (I think that is       what the OPT CRAM-MD5 is supposed to do). So you can't recover the password       from the session.              If you have no other way of communicating with the nodes sysop, I would block       them on the firewall, maybe they notice that at some point in the future. Or       perhaps an other node that has no session password set with this node, can       deliver a crashmail for you?              Btw: I have communicated with a number of the nodes in net 250 in the past       regarding AmigaNet links, so maybe if this regards a node in net 250 I have an       email address for you, if you can tell me their name in that case?                     Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.3.2.4-B20240523        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 18/200 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/305       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 30 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 114 206 275 317 400 426 428 470 550 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 282/1038 291/111 292/854       SEEN-BY: 292/8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 902/26 5020/400 8912 5054/30 5075/35       PATH: 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
