The Linux client currently never sends any padding. I was just pointing out that the encrypt_v2 routine is set up to handle a non-zero "ec" value, and that when it gets one it fills the padding with X's. We could make that not even pass in an "ec" value at all of course, but maybe it'll come in handy sometime. -- Jeff Layton
