      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A46       MSGID: 4:900/107 e8dbbd8b       REPLY: 1:129/215 0fe88ac8       TZUTC: -0300       On 05 Apr 2021, g00r00 said the following...        g0> In the first quote it sounds to me like Mystic is requiring a password        g0> for the PKT because you've configured require a password for the PKT.              Hi! Thanks for the additional information!              It is a problem I have come across in the past.              My Hub provided me with a password, and did not specify for what I should use       it besides the obvious areafix request. So I set it up on every place on the       mystic node configuration that allowed me: PKT, TIC, AREAFIX, etc.              But, of course, the hub sends me .PKT files that do not require a password.       Mystic attempts to use the password anyway, and correctly so, because it is       configured to use a PKT password.              What I was wondering, is, instead of "invalid PKT" it could show "Attempted       to use password, but .PKT does not require it, please unconfigure it" .              Or something like it...              Sorry if I am not being clear, I think I talked about this with Nick two       years or so ago, and at that time I thought it was a bug in mystic.              What I am saying is, help the sysop discover the problem about the       not-required-to-be-configured password for an unprotected PKT.              Cheers!!!              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Linux/64)        * Origin: DaRK Game BBS (4:900/107)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 4/0 80/1 88/0 90/0 1 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305       SEEN-BY: 135/367 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 452 550 664 700       SEEN-BY: 229/981 1016 1017 240/5832 249/206 307 317 400 282/1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280 900/0 100 102 106 107 108 902/0       SEEN-BY: 902/6 10 19 26 27 100       PATH: 900/107 902/27 90/1 229/426           |
