I think we went around about this a bit, but yes strncpy() is exactly 
what we want because the rest of the code assumes 6 non-null terminated 
characters and strncpy won't terminate it if its longer. OTOH, i'm not 
sure we really want shorter strings padded with nulls either.

strncpy() is easy though, so sure. <shrug>
