Description

I am working with the quagga_ospf package for pfsense and noticed that the Web-GUI seems to cut of MD5 password strings for OSPF interfaces after 15 characters.

If I read the documentation at https://www.nongnu.org/quagga/docs/quagga.html#OSPF-interface for "ip ospf message-digest-key KEYID md5 KEY" correctly a 16 character password should be valid (we are using a 16 character password with an OpenBSD ospfd daemon). In fact, when I edit the configuration file in "Raw Config" on the GUI to the correct 16 characters, ospfd on pfsense seems to work.

Could it be that the GUI password truncation has an "of by one" bug?
