hmm, its interesting that the key length is an issue - I guess we 
_could_ have a much larger number with no real issue...but would
that actually gain anything security wise? I also note that MANY 
NAS devices have much smaller maximum shared secrets (memory is
precious I guess..) eg only 16 characters in length!
