Re: [Ani-users] Connection to instshare... failed

Hi Georg

The password thing is a "feature". Because your password is smaller than 
16 chars, the algorithm pads it with some random bytes. When you want 
full security take a 16 char password, and it should always look the 
same after beeing encrypted.

So your problem must have a different cause. DHCP seems to work. When 
you boot in debug mode (with OPEN_SHELL=y) have a look at the 
information gathered from DHCP. It's stored in these files:
/etc/orgunit
/etc/instshr
/etc/pakshr
/etc/instpwd
/etc/instacc

Are they ok?
Do you use the original boot images from our download page? If not, what 
did you change? Maybe there are some corrupted files? Maybe some of your 
scripts have DOS line endings ('\n\r' or similar)?

Please post the command line you used for mounting the share manually.
