All the popular directory servers now use the NamePassword for the first-word part of the name. This prevents someone from making SSCX Goatse.
So if the first word in your zone name is already used somewhere else, the directory server will ignore your zone with the incorrect NamePassword. This works on a first come, first server basis, with a bit of caching of passwords for a while.

mgb: i presume that means that your username on the directory server will be the first word of your zone's name and the password will be the NamePassword setting. am i right?
is 'cane' default so zones without network tags don't stop each other if their name starts with the same word?
