Subject: Authentication Issue DD-WRT

Hi,
Does anyone noticed that to authenticate in any wireless router running
DD-WRT firmware (lastest version), it only check the first 8 characters of
the password???
E.g. you can set the root password to yellowmonkey123@123 and when you try
to authenticate with yellowmonkey@...blabla ... got root!
Some other firmware users noticed and reported to the developer, but no
action was taken.
It´s a excelent firmware to use with linksys routers, many extras resources,
etc, but not from the security point of view.
