ospf auth spokes, different keys

I remember reading once that if your passwords are the same, it is
recommended to use different keys for each spoke. I don't remember if that
advice was for the area authentication, or for virtual links if there are
virt links to each spoke as well. I have tested all combinations and can't
find any conflicts. I do find if there are two interface keys at hub, then
it reads that one of the spokes is using an old key, but other than this I
cannot replicate any problems by using the same key. Is this correct?

Thanks,

Marcus
