MAL conduit doesn't work

For some reason, the MAL conduit hasn't worked since last
summer. In
fact, trying to sync with MAL used to crash gpilotd, so I
disabled it. I
recently upgraded to gnome-pilot (and conduits) 2.0.15 so I
tried MAL
again. It didn't crash, but I'm now getting these messages:

MALconduit-Message: MALconduit 0.9-2.0.4
MALconduit-Message: TASK : Connection successful...
MALsync Invalid login.  Please check your username and
password and try
again.
cancelled = false, verbose = 0

I checked my user name and password on the avantgo web site,
and made
sure they were what was entered in the Avantgo settings
dialog on my
Palm, but no success. 

Anyone know what's going on?

TIA.

I'm sure it hasn't been ported to the changes in pilot-link
0.12.x that
have been released in the last handful of versions. Quite a
lot has
changed and mal needs to be updated. 

I should also note that I've had libmal and friends in my
public CVS for
over 7 years, and given access to those who need to maintain
it (Tom
Whittaker, Jason Day, etc.) So far, nobody has committed any
updates,
and my schedule is getting busier these days with
entrepreneurial work,
so it may be stagnant. 

MalSync and libmal are both in there... they just need to be
updated to
current, to match pilot-link's changes.

Why do you use AvantGo at all, when there are better,
faster, freer
alternatives out there, giving you more flexibility, more
features, a
smaller footprint, a completely open and documented data
format, more
supported platforms and devices and an active development
team? 


I'm speaking of course, about Plucker. We did a breakdown a
few years
ago here:

And here are some examples of what you can do with it:

Hi,

Ridiculously tardy response (almost 8 months) but here
goes.

Quite a lot has

The mal-conduit code in gnome-pilot was forked years ago and
was updated
in time for gnome-pilot-conduits 2.0.15.

I have just dusted off my avantgo setup and successfully
synced with
gnome-pilot 2.0.15.  Make sure you are using an up to date
version of
libmal.prc, avantgo.prc and MobileLink.prc which you can get
from the
Avantgo website (just install the windows .exe and you'll
find the .prc
files installed under the Avantgo folder).  The OS4 versions
I used to
use crashed on my OS5 Clie.  After installation I opened up
the
AGConnect app on the palm and put in 'sync.avantgo.com' on
port 80,
filled out my username and password, and successfully
synced.

Hope it works for you,

Matt

I had high hopes, but no go. I still get 
MALconduit-Message: MALconduit 0.9-2.0.4
MALconduit-Message: TASK : Connection successful...
MALsync Invalid login.  Please check your username and
password and try
again.
cancelled = false, verbose = 0

I'm using gnome-pilot 2.0.15, pilot-link 0.11.8 on a Palm
M515 with
PalmOS 4.1.
