    PKT, FIX and TIC Password are set correctly

    You should not be sending packet passwords.

    Avon, I also think THIS was the issue with files going to badfiles.. I don't know how the originally got sucked in, but I had the password set. I've removed it now and intend to check the logs to make sure everything is going right.

    I think new users don't realize that all the details they need are in those logs. It tells you everything, you just gotta slow down and read them. All the errors are right there in front of you.

    That's it.

    Every thing is running smooth now :)

    Thanks Avon

    Hello Andy,

    PKT, FIX and TIC Password are set correctly

    Does anyone has an idea whats wrong on my configuration?

    Generally, these days many sysops don't enable or make use of packet passwords unless specifically requested to do so. I have had downlinks who thought that every setting was meant to be used. Try removing the password and checking again. And verifying that a password is meant to be used.

    Just a thought.

    Jeff

    You're right. That's what the problem was. After removing the packet password everything works smoothly.

    Thanks for your hint.
