This may not be related, but a similar problem with a user/password that would not work with popper, but would with telnet and ftp. Rather puzzling, since I could change the username or password, but otherwise it would give password incorrect. Even if I redid the password and verified the DES was different. This was with qpoppper 2.50 on a 2.2.6 system. Never checked if this was a problem on 2.2.7 with the lastest port. Try changing the password or username by one character and see what happens. Certainly an odd annoyance. Jeff Mountin - Unix Systems TCP/IP networking jeff@mountin.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
