Update of /cvsroot/popfile/engine/POPFile
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv23155/POPFile
Modified Files:
Configuration.pm
Log Message:
Add two global configuration variables, crypt_strength and crypt_device, and use them in calls to Crypt::Random::makerandom_octet.
They default to 0 and '', respectively.
Advanced users can set crypt_strength to 1, but the average user should be happier with 0. The super-advanced user can even specify his own random device.
