Re: Shared Secret mismatch in AM3/MM5



  This has come up on the list before and been rejected before. It is
a fundamental change to a protocol that is just now getting some serious
analysis. The only justification seems to be the desire to use 
pre-shared key authentication with a dynamicly-assigned IP address.
This was not justification enought to change things before and nothing
has changed.
