I compiled the client source, but every time I try to connect to a server it kicks me out or tells me to get a lessed binary. What gives?
It’s possible to modify the client source to do lots of tedious tasks (like aiming, dodging, that sort of thing) for you. Since this gives you a big advantage over a mere human, netrek has a way of knowing whether you have a client that was compiled by the netrek Gods or by you. If you compiled it, netrek will assume it’s a cyborg, and will kick you out if it’s not cyborg hours. There are several different messages you can get when your binary isn’t what the server is expecting: 1: “User binary failed to verify.” The server is expecting a standard blessed client; read the software page to find out where you can get one. 2: “No customized binaries. Please use a blessed one.” You have an RSA client, but the key for your client isn’t on the list. Mail the server god if you think your key should be included. 3: “You need a spiffy new RSA client for this server!” You have a standard blessed client (or an unblessed client) but the server accepts only RSA clients; read the Netrek FTP List to
