Hi,
There is a bug in xsane-setup.c that causes any
password string beginning with a capital "S" to
read as an empty string.
Here is the code from xsane-setup.c
/* make sure password is not stored in ascii text */
/* this is very simple but better than nothing */
for (i=0; i<strlen(preferences.email_auth_pass); i++)
{
preferences.email_auth_pass[i] ^= 0x53;
}
If the first character of the password is a capital "S"
(0x53) , then xoring it with another 0x53 makes that
character a null character, effectively terminating
the string.
The solution is to not use a capital "S" anywhere in
the password, or to fix the code.
Barry
