Re: iSCSI: Minor Comment on CHAP_N

I've added a comment about this to 7.2 _ It will show up tomorrow. Julo

For some of the authentication methods a key specifies the identity of the iSCSI initiator or target for authentication purposes. The value associated with that key MAY be different from the iSCSI name and SHOULD be configurable (e.g, CHAP_N - see Section 10.1.4 Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) and SRP_U - see Section 10.1.3 Secure Remote Password (SRP)).

Julian and Ofer,

At the last plugfest, Ayman said there seemed to be
some confusion about the CHAP_N key.  It would be helpful
to add a comment in section 10.1.4 to the effect of:

  The CHAP_N key specifies the identity of the iSCSI
  Initiator or Target for CHAP authentication purposes, which
  may be different from the iSCSI name and should be configurable.

I think a similiar comment applies to SRP_U key.
