Change S/Key stuff from using a flat file (/etc/skeykeys) to a directory
where each user gets their own file, which is owned by that user. An old S/Key database may be converted by running "skeyinit -C" as root. Programs that need to access the S/Key database no longer need to be setuid root. They must now be setgid auth instead.
