What impact it makes depends entirely on your threat model. Worst case, on a not very busy connection, bad guys can see the exact size of messages, and thus deduce what they are, and perhaps trace them across the network.

But it's not that big a deal generally for a few nodes. > This was on a linux machine and I chose low security settings if that > matters for troubleshooting. Yes, LOW network security sets this to false. > P.S. The variable has the typo in it. File a bug (or a patch, but need to migrate old values). :)
