Hello mark,

Binkd does nothing with the packets. As you once said it is "just a filer". It is other software, such as a tosser that deals with the packets. There is nothing stopping sysops from having the binkd session password different from the tosser's packet password.

In fact some say NOT having them the same increases security.


Cheers, Michiel
