Re: [Ipmitool-devel] Reg issue with password having 16 bytes [ID: 3184687]

password to lan vrs lanplus, when in fact it is really an IPMI 1.5 vrs IPMI 2.0 issue.
It is also possible to set a password via the /dev/ipmi interface so qualification of
password length using the interface is not sufficient to cover all the cases.

I believe doing this correctly will require password length verification based on the current
IPMI version.

This patch will ca
