    One AKA, one password per session -> no problems. Different
    passwords could work in this case. But I think it's better to just
    use the same password. Multiple passwords don't make it more
    secure.

    So likely only their session pwds have to be the same?

    Yes.

    In my experience dealing with different types of inbound
    BinkD
    connections here, many weird "problems" with multi-FTN BinkD
    connections are solved the moment the passwords are set the
    same.

    What I am guessing is this is a binkd thing, I think If I host
    same downlin more than one ftn session pwds should match the other
    stuff is hpt and shou be fine I am thinking...???

    I'm not really sure, just that it was fixed here and left alone.

    Hpt should have nothing to do with BinkD?

    Thats what I think as well, so I have the links cfg in hpt alone and just doing the session pwds in binkd, I have a couple downlinks helping with the test... so far so good.

    Yes.

    we are testing now, but that does seem to be the case
