Trevor King" Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2014 11:28:54 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ngircd/README.md: Document the 20-character password limit From the referenced INSTALL docs: Differences to version 0.8.x - The maximum length of passwords has been raised to 20 characters (instead of 8 characters). If your passwords are longer than 8 characters then they are cut at an other position now. so in v0.8 and earlier the password limit was even shorter. --- ngircd/README.md | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/ngircd/README.md b/ngircd/README.md index 01cc1b2..4ad3064 100644 --- a/ngircd/README.md +++ b/ngircd/README.md @@ -29,7 +29,9 @@ and the [unencrypted port][6667]: > -p 6667:6667 -p 6697:6697 wking/ngircd You can optionally set a `GLOBAL_PASSWORD` environment variable to -require a global password for all client connections. +require a global password for all client connections, although the +password length is [limited to 20 characters since ngIRCd +v0.9][password-limit].
