   the question is fine in here but i don't know if there are any binkd   
   maintainers in here... they're more easily found in BINKD and apparently hang   
   out more in BINKD.RU or some such...   
      
   there was something interesting discovered several months ago, though... in   
   the CRAM-MD5 implementations, apparently only 32byte checksum strings are   
   allowed (or used?) even though the spec allows for up to 64bytes (IIRC)... i   
   scanned three years of binkd logs and all CRAM-MD5-xxxxxxxxxxxxx   
   xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx strings are of the same length... longer ones fail... i'm   
   not sure about shorter ones... it was discussed in one of more of BINKD,   
   NET_DEV, SYNC_SYSOPS, SYNCHRONET, or SYNC_PROGRAMMING...
