Nick,
 
NA> Can someone please clarify, in one or two sentences, what the apparent
NA> problem is with passwords and where the supposed bug lines herein?
 
As you know I'm the prime user of D'Bridge in nearly all its implementations 
and versions since ... ehr ... since ... ehr ... 1987? 1988? ... using it in an 
IP-world even before you hit the scene and did all the good work you're doing.
 
Roger and I recall the old days when we prefered to work with Y2K-issues rather 
than use the Y2K-ready version, the last-one Chris ever released and which was 
a shame.
 
For quite a long time I have been connecting with dozens of non-DB systems with 
and without packet-password and never experienced an issue.
 
"Packet-password" has been implemented here from around 1994/1995 when I became 
ZC.
 
Hope this helps,
