it isn't supposed to... it is only to provide a connection line for unsecure 
connections... if you have a secure connection with a specific system then you 
add a separate node line for that specific system and you place your password 
in there... it is called "overriding"... but that's not what was being asked 
for... what was being asked for was how to include the list of all nodes so 
that a system may connect with any other system using binkd...

aside from that, your explanation was spot on :)
