Package: keepalived
Version: 1:1.1.20-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

After upgrading one of two servers using keepalived for vrrp to 
squeeze, I noticed that the two servers wouldn't recognise each
other (basically wouldn't accept the authentication PASS configured
in /etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf).

After some debugging, it appears that keepalived expects now passwords
to be no more than 8 characters long (and even seems to pad it with
special characters if less than 8). Having a password longer than 8
characters seems to throw off the password alltogether.

I fixed it by changing the length of my passwords to less than 8 
characters but I felt it would be useful to report it nonetheless. ;)

Cheers,

Chris
