Thanks for the help. What will the UseOldAscendPasswords do to passwords under 16 characters?
I would try it right now but I'm currently dialed up and not at the office so if I break anything I wouldn't be able to fix it.

Below is > the line from the password log (the actual password is half xed out). Some NASs (in particular, old Ascends) implement a broken encryption for passwords longer than 16 chars. There is a per client parameter that you can enable to work around this. See UseOldAscendPasswords in the ref manual. If that does not fix the problem, please send to me (privately) a level 5 dump of the incoming request, along with the type/model of your NAS, the correct passwrod and your shared secret.
