You have two passwords. Your Plan 9 password is used for Plan 9 protocols and is only stored as a DES key by the auth server. Your APOP password is used for a lot of external protocols (including APOP). The auth server stores the actual password, so it can be used in ways other than DES. When you run passwd you get prompted about your APOP password after your original password. > 2) I am having problems with challenge/response stuff on this machine > under drawterm too -- could that be the reason for vnc-client > failure? The challenge/response for drawterm uses your Plan 9 password (it's a slightly Plan 9-specific protocol). The challenge/response for VNC uses your APOP password. So the problems seem unrelated except for the general "something is not quite right about your auth setup". Russ
