>Description:

Older config files for cgd devices may lack the keygen_iterations
setting. The current cgdconfig doesn't configure the device in such a
case.

The following is from a short thread at the current-users
mailing list staring with Message-Id:
<20030324023134.19C62174D2@arioch.imrryr.org>.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:

Roland Dowdeswell sent me a mail writing as follows:

Hmmm, this is a bug in my recent changes to cgdconfig(8)---not a
need for additional documentation.  In the absence of a
keygen_iterations line, I should default to 128 like the old version
did.  I didn't notice it, because I had changed cgdconfig(8) to output
the keygen_iterations line a couple of months ago.
