Hi! Thanks for the additional information!

It is a problem I have come across in the past.

My Hub provided me with a password, and did not specify for what I should use
it besides the obvious areafix request. So I set it up on every place on the
mystic node configuration that allowed me: PKT, TIC, AREAFIX, etc.

But, of course, the hub sends me .PKT files that do not require a password.
Mystic attempts to use the password anyway, and correctly so, because it is
configured to use a PKT password.

What I was wondering, is, instead of "invalid PKT" it could show "Attempted
to use password, but .PKT does not require it, please unconfigure it" .

Or something like it...

Sorry if I am not being clear, I think I talked about this with Nick two
years or so ago, and at that time I thought it was a bug in mystic.

What I am saying is, help the sysop discover the problem about the
not-required-to-be-configured password for an unprotected PKT.

Cheers!!!
