merovingian sets the vault key, the thing that mserver5 complains about when it is not set (which is the default). This key is used to cypher and decypher your passwords. Hence, if you use another vault key, the passwords can no longer be decyhered to the value you think it should be. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
