OK Jim, thanks.
Actually, I'm having more basic problems than that, even. From looking at
the perl scripts I have, it seems that encryption is optional. I tried
telnetting to the server and it answered, but then it would not respond to
anything I typed. For example, I tried telling it:
OpenSRS CLIENT 2.0
and then
login userid password
but it never responded. The code seems to not look for a response after I
tell it my version number, but it never responds after the login request
either. Also, if tell it:
login -DES userid
it never issues the challenge.
Any ideas on that?
Thanks...
Jim
