Thanks Kin, good to know. At least it is not just my problem ;-) Thanks for testing and 73 Andrea --> Il giorno gio 22 gen 2026 alle ore 09:11 Kin <ea3cv@cronux.net> ha scritto:
Hi Andrea,
Exactly the same thing happens to me as to you: when it is detected that the user comes from localhost, the change is allowed.

Hi Kin, I think my setting are right. This is what I have in startup script
set/var $main::localhost_alias_ipv4 '82.84.98.150' set/var @main::localhost_names qw(192.168.1.131 localhost 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.130)
Could you try to see if you have the same issue on your node?

Andrea,
Could it be related to the variables? $main::localhost_alias_ipv4 @main::localhost_names
I would try checking the values they contain, or you could test the script I wrote, set/update_ip.pl. Regarding the set/passphrase command, I seem to recall that it was related to BBSs, but I’m not completely sure. Dirk should be able to shed some light on it.

Hi Kin, I tried your suggestion but same result. What I do to test is ssh to my linux server from there I telnet to localhost port 7373 (in my case) I login into the cluster with the user I want to test I run set/password
What I noticed is that if I telnet to the private ip (or public ip) the issue is not present. So it seems related to the telnet localhost.
Strange
BTW, what is the purpose of the set/passphrase command?

Andrea,
What’s happening is very strange. The set/password command can be used with any privilege level (<9). Have you tried using it like this: set/password <cr/lf> ????
Careful! Not set/pass, that’s a different command. There is also the set/passphrase command.

Hi, all users that have a password configured by the sysop are not able to change it by their own with the command set/password They get error "not allowed".
Any other experiencing this issue?
Thanks
