CVS: tmda/bin ChangeLog,1.194,1.195 tmda-keygen,1.16,1.17: msg#00038

Subject: CVS: tmda/bin ChangeLog,1.194,1.195 tmda-keygen,1.16,1.17
Update of /cvsroot/tmda/tmda/bin
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv9838/bin

Modified Files:
        ChangeLog tmda-keygen 
Log Message:
CRYPT_KEY is now longer a tmdarc variable, but is read from
CRYPT_KEY_FILE (defaulting to ~/.tmda/crypt_key).

Including CRYPT_KEY in the .tmdarc was a historical relic of TMS.  In
retrospect, it makes more sense to stash the key in a separate file.

For one, it greatly reduces the risk of accidental key compromise
(e.g, newbies continually forget to remove CRYPT_KEY when including
their .tmdarc in mailing list messages).

It also makes .tmdarc contents safe to share since it will no longer
contain any sensitive information.
