Hello all,

Yes, I tried to search that question from google and i can't find any.

First of all, I already checked ident. And set everything well. But whenever i tried to connect bouncer,

It's keep saying me that Wrong Password. Disconnecting.

First, I want to know is that, is that password is i set make menuconfig from Users rite ? which is

USER1.USER.PASS=test

rite ? I tried to type when connecting with /quote pass test

But still, it's keep saying me that Wrong Password. Disconnecting.

That's my psybnc.conf file

That password is probably encrypted, so setting it to plane text won't solve your problem. The best thing you can do is restart your psybnc with a new psybnc.conf.

You have to kill psybnc before editing psybnc.conf.
psyBNC writes a new conf file when it closes.
If you edit the conf while it's running then restart it, you lose what you change.

Oh,

Thanks Sir_Fz and Dragon Lord. I will try again. Can i know how to kill the psybnc service ? And then, I doubt that, encrypted password is the problem. Because, first, I got those encrypted password also. But whenever i type my password, it's keep saying me Wrong Password. But I will try to do that again. Please kindly tell me about pysbnc kill command please. Thank you very much.

With Regards,

Type 'ps x' to see the running processes, take the PID number of your psybnc process and type 'kill -9 <PID>' to kill it.

Sorry for bringing back this old thread, but my problem is very similar: Wrong password.

The problem is, I kill psybnc and change my password on psybnc.conf, but once I start psybnc, the program changes back the password on the file to what it was before. =/
Any ideas?

Again, resetting the password won't solve your problem. You need to restart your psy with a fresh psybnc.conf and reset the password on connect.

you *can* put in a plaintext password, you should read up before you say you can't...

kill the process edit your conf file where the password field is to something like this
USER1.USER.PASS=newpassword
then restart using that password, it will re-encrypted and voila there you go...

good luck

EDIT:also his conf file was incorrect anyways besides his password...

PSYBNC.SYSTEM.PORT1=31720 62.343.217.31

should of probably read like this

PSYBNC.SYSTEM.HOST1=62.343.217.31
PSYBNC.SYSTEM.PORT1=31720

No, you can't use a plain-text password unless you allowed that during initial setup of psyBNC.

I'm really sorry for bump this very old topic again, but maybe be my information will be useful for some one.

First, i came here after search on google for "psybnc wrong password". I found the same problem in other discussion boards, but no fix for it.

In my password I used a underline "_" and some "special" characters like "~" after change it many times, and still receive the wrong password menssage I changed my password to a much simpler, "abcde", and the error message disappear.

I use psybnc with openwrt firmware.

I Hope it may be useful for some one.

Again, I'm sorry for post in this old topic, but I did it in the best of intentions!

Ok i have tried the deleting out of the encrypted password and just did.

USER1.USER.PASS=cannibus

Then started ./psybnc and yes it was killed before i edited it. It is not encrypting the password when i do this.

What happen was my shell host changed servers, so i installed it from scratch then just overwrote my config file. It will run when i do this, but i get the error message in mirc saying wrong password. I know for a fact it is the correct password because i didn't change it in mirc and i am using the same config file with same encrypted pass from the same config file. If i put just the USER1.USER.PASS=cannibus and do ./psybnc it says it starts with no problem but you do ps x right after that and it is not running. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
