Thanks Chris, this bug report saved me some debugging time while upgrading half of an LVS pair.
I've done some digging & testing. From what I can tell, versions up to and including v1.1.17 use the first eight characters of auth_pass, and from version v1.1.18 only the first seven characters are used (and the string is always null-terminated). This means that having a really long string for auth_pass is redundant, as only the first chunk is used anyway. A password up to seven characters works for me across these versions. (Well, v1.1.15 (lenny) and v1.1.20 (squeeze) actually.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
