and the passphrase is rejected as bad. (I do
the same thing successfully on the Win2k box.)
Could it be that some characters should be
disallowed from the passphrase? Now, I allow
characters: if(isgraph(ch) && (ch != '\'')) .
Should there be further restriction? What else
might be the problem?
Thanks for your help.
Mike.
Have you tried typing it instead of copy and paste? Maybe the paste
function isn't working properly.
Of course, I can't see whether the paste function is
working when I enter the passphrase because it doesn't echo.
But it does work when I paste it elsewhere. In view of
the length of the passphrase and my marginal typing skills,
I doubt that I could type it with certainty that I had not
made an error. Maybe I'll run a test with a short key.
Mike.
