Long passwords

This is surely a FAQ. I read the docs, searched the net, found this list and
subscribed to it, so please forgive me if this has been asked 100 times before.

We have problems using UNIX passwords longer than 16 characters. I examined
the source of radiusd-1.16 and noticed that the passwords are truncated after
16 characters, so I recoded the password decrypting according to the draft.

It still doesn't work. So I suspect that our Portmaster is truncating the
passwords too. Can anybody confirm this? We are running ComOS 3.1.4. Will
this be solved by an upgrade of ComOS?

Appreciating any help I can get here,

Richard Huveneers.
