Description :

Update Information:

This update fixes several issues in genkey:

* SHA1 is used as the default hash for newly created certificates (and certificate requests).

* The default key size is updated to 2048 bits.

* Special characters were not escaped properly when executing keyutil.

* Errors when executing keyutil would result in a crash rather than an error message.

The certwatch man page has been updated.
