Problems with password

[Zambiorix]

I am running Faktory on an Ubuntu server, together with my application.
The FAKTORY_PASSWORD environment variable is set and corresponds with /etc/faktory/password.
In my go app, if I list the enviroment variables, I see the correct passwoor variable.

Still when I run faktory manager, i get invalid password errors..

Any idea where I have to look to get this fixed?

Thanks

I installed the latest version of Faktory:

wget "https://github.com/contribsys/faktory/releases/download/v1.9.3/faktory_1.9.3-1_amd64.deb"

dpkg -i faktory_1.9.3-1_amd64.deb

rm -rf faktory_1.9.3-1_amd64.deb

I only get it to work if I set FAKTORY_SKIP_PASSWORD=true for both Faktory and my application service.
Since I only accept on localhost it is not much of a problem, but I have no idea why it doesn't work with a password set.

No one else has reported this issue, I suspect something else wrong in your environment but I'm not sure what it could be.
