If done correctly in the binkp protocol, the password is never send accross
the line, only checksums that are generated with the password (I think that is
what the OPT CRAM-MD5 is supposed to do). So you can't recover the password
from the session.

If you have no other way of communicating with the nodes sysop, I would block
them on the firewall, maybe they notice that at some point in the future. Or
perhaps an other node that has no session password set with this node, can
deliver a crashmail for you?

Btw: I have communicated with a number of the nodes in net 250 in the past
regarding AmigaNet links, so maybe if this regards a node in net 250 I have an
email address for you, if you can tell me their name in that case?


Bye, Wilfred.
