Document bug in mandos-keygen which strips white space from passwords
Passwords, as read by mandos-keygen when given the --password or -p
options, are stripped of white space from the start and from the end
of the password. This is because mandos-keygen is a shell script, and
the Bourne Shell "read" builtin does not seem to have a way to avoid
this. Document this bug.
* manods-keygen.xml (OPTIONS): Document the white space-stripping
nature of the --password/-p option, and
also note in the description of
--passfile and -F that they avoid this
behavior.
(BUGS): Again mention the problem with the --password and -p
options, and suggest --passfile as a possible workaround.
