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

This is quite "undefined behaviour": the server can't store your configured
password, so it's quite uncertain with which password it will/can compare the
passwords it receives from clients ...

Do your clients pass in the "too long" password or the one cut off and used by
ngIRCd?

But all in all, you should fix your configuration :-)
