another proposal for manual correction:

in section 7.0.3 it is not stated that login and password are optional 
parameters for the PBListener (eg. with []).
this is not just a formality, since the statusgui tool, which uses a 
PBListener port does not provide parameters for user & password and thus 
cannot connect if you have u&p set for the respective PBListener, which 
so happened on my first try and took me a moment to figure out.
