The story of PAP, CHAP and the blank password

[Wynand Meijer]

Thanks for the feedback,

We have made contact with the NAS 'provider' and requested they resolve 
the issue by replacing the string "void" with nothing. As the passed 
string is the 'cause' of the problem we would rather them fix it than we 
try and hack around it.

If these errors keep persisting we will look into a solution as you 
suggested like 00121231234:00121231234 or 00121231234:1111

Thanks
Wynand
