I know why it fails: while I type my master password the remote server
times out, probably because it thinks I'm a human and not a machine. Or
something of the sort. Not important.
What you say about changing passwords is not a problem at all: we could
change it manually in the configuration instead. I just don't want to be
prompted for the password. I want it to remember the password even if it
fails, and let me decide if I want to type a new password.
Linux style, not windows style :-P
Ie, I want the configuration box to have:
server _______
login _______
(*) remember password
password ________
( ) prompt for password on failure
