There appears to be an error in this line: The PLAIN mechanism's authentication format is: <authorization ID> NUL <authentication ID> NUL <password>.

Authorization ID is the username who you want to log in as, and authentication ID is the username whose password you're giving. -- Robert Lopez Unix Systems Administrator Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) 525 Buena Vista SE Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106
