>Description:
	skeyinit fails in line 46 of skeyinit.c 
	if (gethostname(defaultseed,sizeof(defaultseed)) < 0)
		exit(-1)
	due to the usual hostname being longer than 17 chars. (defaultseed[17]);
	(mine is 28 yours is 25 chars long)	
>How-To-Repeat:
	hostname set.average.length.hostname
	skeyinit
	(no output)
>Fix:
	hostname short.name
	or
	change code to use first 17 chars of hostname
	or (maybe)
	set defaultseed to 255 chars.
	or
	...
