Hi,

Request your comments.

I see the following error in the server, with sha256 keys: "receive: drop:
bad EF length"
The client and server are both 4.2.8.p18, same version. I see the client is sending 32 bytes MAC + 4 bytes key id.

Why is the server rejecting this mac ? should MAC be reduced to 20 bytes ?
Why is the same p18 version in client and server not compatible ?

Any help/pointers much appreciated.

Thanks,
Murugesh
