not sure what you are asking...

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-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
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...
