JD> Bob Bashe is connecting with my system to exchange netmail. Using the JD> lionsden.ddutch.nl domain, he connects but has password errors.

JD> Any ideas anyone?
I have no idea why this happens, moreover while I do not know what software Bob uses and which version.
From a different discussion I gather, that he uses Binkd and separate files to include the passwords.
Unless he uses the t-mail, ifcico or qico style password file, there will be some Node line that defines the password(s) for your system. As that is likely to be a static file, add "-4" as first value after the nodenumber. This forces Binkd to use IPv4 for that node.
