i get this error

	ladd# auth/secstore -nG factotum
	ladd# echo $status
	secstore 1517: invalid password in nvram

however if i do it this way, it works:

	ladd# auth/secstore -G factotum
	secstore password: <same password entered>
	secstore
	<keys printed here>

i have a longish password, but it doesn't exceed ANAMELEN.
does nvram truncate the password?  are there any magic characters
which must be avoided?
