Please verify that "ngircd --configtest" results in the expected values for the "Password" configuration variable with version 20.

Running --configtest shows both values are being the same.
Ok, that's good to know in the first place :-)
Do your clients pass in the "too long" password or the one cut off and used by ngIRCd?
This one I'm not sure about because I'm using SSL and have compiled without 'sniffer'. I suspect they are passing the "too long" password and v19.2 was truncating the received password which would then match the configured password whereas v20 is not truncating received password resulting in a mismatch?
I suspect that this is the case, yes ...
But all in all, you should fix your configuration :-)
Agree, I inherited this configuration from a friend during a network transition. :) That being said, with --configtest showing equal values for the password between v19.2 and v20, do you have any thoughts?
If your clients pass in the "too long" password, there is not much we can do: the passwords don't match. But if they pass in the truncated password, it should work. I'll have a look at it later this evening ...
