Nice!

Not having inet_pton() is perfectly OK. Since you didn't get any build errors
it proves that the inet_pton() code I provided built and linked fine for you.

Yes, we should fix that. I can't tell you right now what the problem is, but
we really shouldn't need to ask for the password more than once anyway.

Indeed a good idea. I'll work on that!

It uses its internal default name+password in that case. That is of course
likely to never be a good idea, but it is mostly a result of how things used
to work internally in the past, and I haven't yet corrected it. I don't think
I'll work very hard on fixing this right now, but I'll leave it to be fixed
after 7.10.8 is released.
