   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!!!
