Subject: does not work with passwords longer than 14 characters
If I call Authen::Smb::authen() with a password that is longer than 14 characters, then the authentication fails. The long password works fine when logging in from a Windows client (like XP). The servers I authenticate against are domain controllers running on MS Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Linux distribution: Debian Woody Package version: libauthen-smb-perl_0.91-2 Perl version: perl_5.6.1-8.9
