Although cname and ccat were purported to work again as of 1.3.3, it
appears there are some passwords for which they still have problems:
$ cmkdir -o1 t16
Key: jkl;jkl;jkl;jkl;
Again: jkl;jkl;jkl;jkl;
$ cattach t16 16
Key: jkl;jkl;jkl;jkl;
$ cd /crypt/16
$ echo hi >hi
$ echo low >low
$ cd ~/t16
$ ls | cname -v
WARNING: ccat works only on old format CFS files
Key: jkl;jkl;jkl;jkl;
3f89024d75d9391d -> low
ea4fc779c730d878 -> hi
$
$ cmkdir -o1 t20
Key: jkl;jkl;jkl;jkl;jkl;
Again: jkl;jkl;jkl;jkl;jkl;
$ cattach t20 20
Key: jkl;jkl;jkl;jkl;jkl;
$ cd /crypt/20
$ echo hi >hi
$ echo low >low
$ cd ~/t20
$ ls | cname -v
WARNING: ccat works only on old format CFS files
Key: jkl;jkl;jkl;jkl;jkl;
1f863c28ca109acb -> ???
b19a883fb5f3341d -> ???
$
It's not just the password length. I haven't delved into the code to
any degree to figure out what is qualatatively "different" about the 2nd
example which makes it break. Anyone have any ideas. This is on a Sun
Sparc IPX running 4.1.4.
