I think it's usefull too. I'll see what I can do in one of the next releases.

It seems like a lot to me. But I don't operate a big hub, so I wouldn't
know if it's something that's a real limit. ;)

When there is a password in the .pkt file but there is none in the
configuration for the node. This is reported on the screen and in the log
file. But the pkt file is processed anyway.

When there is a pkt password in the configuration for the node, but no
password in the received pkt file, this is reported as a security
voilation, and the .pkt file is renamed to a .sec file.

Of course! Thank you for the suggestions!

Bye, Wilfred.
