   I may not be understanding your question but I'll give it a shot and if I am   
   misunderstanding let me know.   
      
   In the first quote it sounds to me like Mystic is requiring a password for the   
   PKT because you've configured require a password for the PKT.   
      
   I am assuming in the second quote you are talking about unsecure echomail.    
   The PKT defines if it requires a password to process it, so if Mystic receives   
   an unsecure echomail packet that says it requires a password, Mystic will not   
   process it.  Mystic should never process a password-secured echomail packet if   
   it doesn't know the password.   
      
   The resulting error message in the latest version looks like:   
      
    + Importing ABCD.PKT (from 1:1/1 to 1:2/1)   
    ! Password found but no configuration for node 1:1/1   
      
   In older versions it used to only say "! Bad password" but that was changed to   
   add the "no configuration for node " text a handful of months back I   
   think (in A47 so if you're on A46 you probably just see Bad Password).   
      
   If you think that error message could be reworded to be clearer let me know   
   and I will consider changing it for you!
