Some progress, Alex. Don't know whether you are interested in how, but I am now able to enter my password after the *, and it shows as I type. However on pressing' return', I get the message

zsh: no matches found: *mypassword

I have entered the password I use to log onto the Mac.

Does that provide any insights?

Cheers

Peter

Do you enter you password too early?

Just to be sure: You enter the line "sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine *" and press return right after inputting the * . A key symbol should now show up in the *next* line. Enter the password which will not be reflected on the command line (no stars, no dots, nothing). Press return. Now the command line prompt "... %" shows up again. That's it. Normally.

Alex, I'm just reporting back success. It was most odd, I carefully did as you instructed, and got the same negative result, twice.

On trying a third time the results were as you said. LNM now connects to X-Plane.

So two things - the first is to thank you for your help and forebearance, and second to say the issue is solved.

With warm regards,

Peter

Hi Peter, thanks a lot for the feedback. Glad it's solved. Now go flying! 🙂
