I would rather there not be an option to force *every* connection to use
CRAM-MD5. It should be on a per-link basis instead (which that option is
already there also).

For some reason, and I'm not sure what combination is used each time it
occurs, but when the "FORCED" option is used in the binkp server
settings, even though my system is setup to use cram-md5 with theirs, it
causes connection errors.

I don't know if they have it enabled in the binkp server settings, and NOT
in the link configuration, or have both enabled or what. Usually disabling
the "FORCED" option in the server settings  and enabling the link
option of cram-md5 fixes the bad connections, though.

Regards,
Nick
