WARNING: SMPP: PDU element <password> to long (length is 9, should be 9)

Hi All,

Just checking - the SMPP password field can be max octets of 9 in
length. But when I set it to be 9 characters in length I get a  warning
that's it's too long, etc. 

My understanding of octets is not fantastic (like a C string - has a
null char which takes up 1?) so looking for some confirmation on what's
happening here (and maybe adjust the warning to be less confusing?).
Should the warning read 'should be 8'?

Cheers,
Alan
