Only PLAIN LOGIN?

Plain logins are required in case you do not store plaintext passwords in your database (i.e. UNIX password) and you do not have stored all possible hash variants (IIRC possible with MySQL). See documentation, it should be described pretty well.

As for PTR record, check whether your FQDN really points to your IP address and whether it had time to propagate itself (usually few hours).

Erm, I set up my 2 domains as per the instructions on the site, my hostname is "beast" and the domains are feastiality.com|co.uk. I didn't put anything pertaining to the hostname in the set up of the domains in the control panel.

Luke.

You need to add A record of "beast" to your DNS zone.

dig beast.feastiality.com. shows me there is none and therefore Linode won't allow you to set such PTR (Reverse DNS) record.

Make sure you can see something like that in your DNS Manager: A/AAAA Records Host Name IP Address TTL Edit Remove 74.207.226.--- Default Edit Remove beast 74.207.226.--- Default Edit Remove

Also consider forcing TLS/SSL with plaintext passwords.

I have the same problem with PLAIN LOGIN. I tried googleing to find how to generate all password hashes in mysql or how to force TLS/SSL with plain-text passwords but my google-fu failed me. Can anyone please point me to the right direction?
