      It authenticates with the new code with a RADIUS box with >=16 passwords but the redirection after fails with some php errors.  I assume that is a cosmetic fix and not critical.  I can work on getting a radius box up probably tomorrow if that'd be helpful.

        So it now authenticates accounts with > 16 char passwords?  And authenticates accounts with < 16 char passwords?  Only a PHP error to cleanup?  Good news.  Maybe the PHP error is coming from the $debug define.

          Actually it only authenticates 16 char or below passwords.  I mistyped.  Sorry.

            Has anyone else noticed this behavior?  Would it be beneficial for me to set up a RADIUS box and give you access to test against?

                If you can provide me a radius target I can test this myself.

                    I have this up, I'm still verifying correct functionality.  How would you like to go about testing?

                        Can you PM me an IP to test against along with two usernames, one with a 15 char password, one with a 20 char password.  I can provide a static IP if needed that I'll be testing from.

                              I also verified that the code in HEAD works, it's only RELENG_1 that's affected by this.

                                This works like a dream now, even in my wacky kerberos backended setup. 
                                Thanks for all the hard work, it is appreciated.
