<font face="Comic Sans MS">While learning about AX.25, I issued:<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">/spider/src/client kf3b</font><br>
<br>
from a linux terminal prompt. kf3b requires a password and spider
requests one from a standard telnet connection. no password was
requested via this invocation method and a spider session was
initiated. not good. shouldn't a user's password be required
regardless of method of connection if the call sign requires a password?<br>
<br>
haven't gotten to the AX.25 part yet, but am wondering if spider (via
client) doesn't ask for a password when called directly by linux, will
it also NOT ask for one when invoked by ax25d? if this is the case,
not good ...<br>
