Subj : I'm confused

Just catching up on some things... I have not had time to read recent posts in
detail.
Can someone please clarify, in one or two sentences, what the apparent problem
is with passwords and where the supposed bug lines herein?
Keep in mind - DB's packet code has remained unchanged for many many years...
for a reason. It works for the vast majority of people.
Also keep in mind my system - Darkrealms - Exchanges mail with at least 50,
maybe 60+ downlinks, systems running Mystic, Synchronet, BBBS, etc etc... a
multitude of different software. Darkrealms is a very popular mail-Hub, and DB
powers all of the mail operation. No packet utilities, no custom workflows.
Darkrealms also constantly exchanges mail with a NAB system - Ross Cassell.
So if someone is having problems receiving mail from a DB system, it is not
the DB system that is "buggy" nor does it need custom passwords or overrides
specified in the BinkD configuration.
If I am not running ANY custom workarounds for the 60+ some-odd downlinks I
exchange mail with, it stands to reason nobody else here should be either.
It should not be difficult for ANY system or BBS to accept packet passwords.
