    But isn't it working as expected?  Not explicitly setting a session
password just means that a blank password is set, not that there isn't a
session password...  (Not that I've actually looked at the code,
though...)

    Why?  If a session password is not matched, how do you or your system
know where it is actually coming from?   (And I'll note, btw, that I use
session passwords even with local points...)

    OTOH;  how it actually works should certainly be in the documentation...
