Topic: BPALOGIN - missing heartbeats

[John Morrison]

I've installed E-smith a week ago and BPAlogin RPM and I'm connected fine...I thought.  I've just checked the message log and I'm getting the following.

Sep  2 16:22:37 ahccube bpalogin[1479]: Received a heartbeat from unexpected source 61.9.208.13:5051
Sep  2 16:22:37 ahccube bpalogin[1479]: Badly structured packet received - discarding

Sep  2 16:35:17 ahccube bpalogin[1479]: Logged on as XXXXXXXX - successful at Mon Sep  2 16:35:17 2002


Any advice on how to fix it ?

THANKS For your help!!!!

I'm guessing that you are using bpalogin 2.0 - I've seen the same problem with it. If so:

1. Use bpalogin 1.3, not 2.x

2. (better yet) fix whatever is wrong with bpalogin 2.x (or WetSpot's authenication server)
