It's perfectly clear. I just wonder how I would find the solution starting from the error message. zimoun <zimon.touto...@gmail.com> writes: >> And explain what it's about.

Any suggestion? :-) My impression is that the error message I quoted is very specific to this situation, so it could actually say "Retry with --disable-authentication if you are sure that there is no security issue".
