I have been having a problem since setting up fidonet on SBBS getting a Bad password error in binkp. I have checked and rechecked my password settings with Alan, and they are correct. However, every time I send a message to him, I get a bad password message. The message gets sent out before I even get logged off and BINKOUT gives me the error. Then, during an normal BINKPOLL, I get the same error, but the message then goes out.

This is the event log. As you can see, It does finally authenticate and send the file. So, since my configuration has the correct passwords, what file could the bad password be in or where or what is causing this issue?

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I have been having a problem since setting up fidonet on SBBS getting a Bad password error in binkp. I have checked and rechecked my password settings with Alan, and they are correct. However, every time I send a message to him, I get a bad password message. The message gets sent out before I even get logged off and BINKOUT gives me the error.

10/5 07:56:27p BINKOUT Peer version: binkd/1.1a-112/Linux binkp/1.1
10/5 07:56:28p BINKOUT BinkP got fatal error 'Bad password' from remote: <=======

The remote side rejected your password.

10/5 08:16:37p BINKPOLL Peer version: binkd/1.1a-112/Linux binkp/1.1
10/5 08:16:37p BINKPOLL BinkP got fatal error 'Bad password' from remote: <=======

Same.

You were likely advertising a different address in this case.

This is the event log. As you can see, It does finally authenticate and send the file. So, since my configuration has the correct passwords, what file could the bad password be in or where or what is causing this issue?

Notice this difference in the addresses:

10/5 07:56:27p BINKOUT JSBinkP/1.123 callout to 1:153/757 started
10/5 08:16:37p BINKPOLL JSBinkP/1.123 callout to 1:153/757@fidonet started

See how one of them is using a 3D address (1:153/757) and the other is using a 5D address (1:153/757@fidonet)? That's likely the cause.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully that helped.

Well, I went through and found the one spot that had just the 1:153/757 and added "@fidonet" to it, but it still didn't work. I still got "bad password".

The log output shows the address with or without the "@fidonet" when you get the "bad password" response?
