Scary log message "AAAA...AAA" in connection_or_set_identity_digest()
On moria1 running today's 0.3.0.1-alpha-dev, I see these info-level logs:
Dec 19 20:42:39.727 [info] connection_or_set_identity_digest(): Set identity digest for 0x1369a250 ((null)): FFD94A523D3A66323E3E4F7707AFCBD44A8D38C4 <null>.
Dec 19 20:42:39.727 [info] connection_or_set_identity_digest(): (Previously: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
That last part reminds me of elsewhere in our code where we do
memwipe(mem, 0xAA, memlen); /* poison memory */
Coincidence? I think it is, because I bet AAA..AAA is the base64 of 000..000, since I see ed25519_fmt() returns a base64 thing.
Still, I wonder if we might do a smarter log message for the case where the key used to be unset, since I'm not the only person who is going to see this line and be concerned.
