Looks like AFPTCP in SP3 isn't 100% nifty:
Note the lack of Diffie-Hellman exchange. Therefore, no 9+ character passwords. Happily, it'll take the first 8 characters of your 156 character pass-sentance, so long as you have a Universal Password.

Sweet, just as optimized as before. So would this continue to screw up the script that maps drives on OS X? Currently it won't accept more than 8 characters, and kicks you out with a bad password error if it's longer than 8 but those 8 are correct.
How it'll work once Universal Passwords are set up (which they aren't, but probably will be early next quarter), is that it'll take the first 8 characters of your password. Our test we ran internally an hour ago with a guy with a 10-character password, he was able to log in if he only supplied the first 8 characters of that password; it puked if he fed it all 10 characters. This is a slight, but significant change. Right now if your password is 9+ characters, it'll puke no matter how many characters you enter due to how passwords are handled right now.As for that script... I found a method that could reduce the complexity of that kludge-fest. But since every lab machine on campus would need touching, this is probably a Summer fix.
