Here are my directory settings for irex and fastecho:

The only differences between the nodes is that league10 only uses a session 
password via binkp and fidonet uses session and packet passwords.  Also, I 
wasn't sure what to do with the security settings for fidonet.  It had worked 
at zero, but all of the fidonet areas need at least 150, so I just gave it 
sysop access.

Let me know if you guys can think of anything for me to try.
