Re: fe_sendsuth: no password supplied

So, when you do supply a password, what is the error message? And
could you look in the server's logs and see what's the error message
there?

I have been checking the server and have found that there are no log
files. It seems the configuration was set not to write any.

The error message either way is the fe_sendauth: no password supplied
