Unless DS is locked, broken, or missing. Or unless the server has lost it's
licenses.

It is nice, we use it, but rconag6 is a fantastic 'emergency' tool that has
never let me down. AFreeCon has let me down before.

I think they are considering adding a 'DS is broken, let me in anyway'
feature to it, but I have no further info in that regard.

Don't get me wrong, it is a great tool, but as I only remote into servers
when they are broken.... well, it needs work.

Yup. Tried it here too. Speed is immediately noticeable. I feel I should go
get a cup of coffee while waiting for rconj.

Still would like to resolve the other problems at least for one or the
other as a backup, but want the passwords encrypted. Having it sit there
plain as day in clear text has irked me for years. So I discover you can
encrypt rconsole password and it doesn't work.

Thanks,
Mary
