[Keepalived-devel] unset auth_pass and invalid auth_type is ok?

[Alexander K. <ale...@ta...>]

Hello!

I discovered that i had

   authentication {
     auth_type <password>
     auth_pass
   }

instead of

   authentication {
     auth_type PASS
     auth_pass <password>
   }

on a backup/slave server. The syslog had lots of these

Keepalived_vrrp[47370]: receive an invalid passwd!
Keepalived_vrrp[47370]: bogus VRRP packet received on eth0 !!!
Keepalived_vrrp[47370]: VRRP_Instance(customer) ignoring received 
advertisment...

Since the auth_type value is nonsense, and auth_pass unset, i would 
expect keepalived to go into faulty state,
but it didnt. It just remained in backup-state.

Shouldnt it? :)

ps. state=backup in the conf, and also nopreempt is set.
