I must be missing something... I thought that with pserver, authentication was accomplished by sending passwords in cleartext over the line. It may be insecure, but it is authenticated, no? A trivially encrypted version of the password is stored in the registry, to match against future passwords - that process is authentication, isn't it? If I had set the server to "Require encryption" then of course pserver couldn't comply. But I only used "Require authentication" - seems like pserver fits that bill or does "Require authentication" imply it needs an ssh connection or somesuch?
