Re: Silc Server Auth

Hi Pekka,

I tried this with 0.1.18 and will try it with 0.1.19 which I just 
installed. When I tried it with 0.1.18, it did not work. There were no 
indications in the log file that there was a problem or that anything had 
happened (Does it log a HUP?). The new user could not connect. When I 
restarted the server the new user could connect.
