  • Not receiving FTN packets

    From Errol Casey@1337:3/194 to All on Sun Jan 4 13:45:17 2026
    I've recently joined a FTN and my synchronet logs show it authenticates
    but the HUB is running mystic, and his logs shows authenticating failing.

    Any ideas where the mismatch could be? Thinking I've enabled or not enabled
    a parameter on my BBS that is causing the confusion.

    His also says there is a packet waiting, but when I poll I don't get anything. ===

    Howdy,

    I've recently joined a FTN and my synchronet logs show it authenticates
    but the HUB is running mystic, and his logs shows authenticating failing.

    Lot entries would help.

    Because during a BINKP session, its one sided authentication, so you both cannot validated "Authentication" at the same time.

    The server authenticates the client, and reports to the client that authentication passed or failed. (Which the client may report it its logs.)

    At a guess, if your hub polls you (you are the server in this instance), and you pass authentication, but when you poll the hub (the hub is the server in the instance), and the hub reports failure - then I would suggest the hub needs to be restarted.
