[cisco-voip] Serious 11.5 installation defect

[Scott Voll]

Sounds like one we had with Cisco Security Manager.  it would send a
password under 15 characters correct because it encrypted the whole
password.  but after 15 characters it would encrypt the 15 characters and
add padding to the addition characters after the encryption. rather than
sending the password with padding than encrypting it.

Reminder that if it's Cisco to make sure your password is less than 16
characters ;-)
