Hello apam,

>> pktinfo tells me that the fromusername field is empty so the

ap> It looks like the packet was written correctly, then re-written over
ap> two bytes off.

Yep, stuff does happen sometimes.. :)

ap> So while mystic should discard that packet as you say,

Yes, just put it aside or something..

ap> more concerning is whatever the hub is running causing packets like
ap> that?

Yes, packets like that will not do anyone or any tosser any good.

ap> The message is FROM a synchronet system, but I suspect it's not
ap> synchronet to blame but whatever is in between.

I doubt it too. I toss packets to and from Synchronet all day. I've never had any issues with a Synchronet produced packet.

Ttyl :-),
