(I assume that you've checked your username, etc): * on Linux, especially with distros like gentoo, you may need to add an "askpass" utility to your environment to ensure that you get prompted for a password * could be an incompatibility with the Twisted library you have installed (on Linux only, we ship our own one with OSX builds) * OSX, I will try to test again, what version are you using? (unfortunately, I don't have every version available for testing..)
