Hi All,

Absolute and total n00b here, so forgive any assumptions, mishaps, and / or stupidness from my side. (Making fun of them is however highly appreciated as i could use a laugh or two...)

So anyway,

I'm trying to run Mystic on OSX on an old Imac.
I've installed it, got it up and running and even have dial-up working through some virtual-machine trickery.

Yesterday i was experimenting with DOVE and Qwkpoll. I have generated all the areas, created the necessary account on vert.synchro.net, but every time i run ./qwkpoll all:

Exchanging Mail for Dovenet
Exported @VERT.rep -> 0 msgs
Connecting via FTP to vert.synchro.net
Connected
Local IP is x.x.x.x
Authentication failed

So i figured i must have made a typo in the account settings, but that does not seem to be the case. Also, when trying to connect over FTP manually, things just work fine.

So i spun-up wireshark and to my surprise, QWKPOLL seems to send out the username before the login banner of vert.synchro.net is even complete. And it never gets to sending a password.

Is this a known bug or am i missing something?

Any help is highly appreciated!

Thanks,

Maurice.
