Yes, the present AUTHKEYLEN (16 characters) is a bit low. The
specification allows up to 255 characters (not explicitly but size is
a byte field). However, If we just increase it, we will break the ABI
again, and mbalmer@ will have the same upgrade problems :)

One alternative is merging 'secret and challenge' fields when sending
the password. This will increase the password size from 15 to 31
characters without changing the size of the structure.
