Hello,

thanks for the hints. I've read the chapter again and again but  
couldn't find any hint which could solve my problem with the "-" in  
the password.

Anyway I also debugged my afp-session. The log file (only the  
relevant part) is this:

TUAMHandler::ChooseBestUAM\n
TUAMHandler::ChooseBestUAM fCurrentUAM is not NULL (^PCleartxt  
Passwrd) clearing...\n

TUAMHandlerCHI::Login DoLoginDialog returns = 89\n
Deleting a TUAMHandler\n

I couldn't find the error 89 (for AFP) on the Apple Support pages. So  
what does this means

Kind regards
Michael.
