>From Doyle:

"The passwords do not have to be the same througout the area, but must be the
same between neighbors. "

Which drives my question: If you have two neighbors with authetication , lets
say area 0, and a third router ,that is in area 1 for instance, want to make a
vir-link with one of them you don`t need to set password? Is that right?
