Hello,

config schema says about "cookie":

This allows generated authentication keys to differ from a site to another. 
It is also used for encryption of user
passwords stored in the database. The presence of this string is one reason 
why access to \"sympa.conf\" needs to be
restricted to the \"sympa\" user.\nNote that changing this parameter will 
break all HTTP cookies stored in users'
browsers, as well as all user passwords and lists X509 private keys. To 
prevent a catastrophe, Sympa refuses to start if
this \"cookie\" parameter was changed."

Is this still in use? It is not present in the skeleton sympa.conf and Sympa 
seems to work fine without it.

I need to know that so I can determine whether I can eliminate it from the 
Debian package.

Regards
        Racke
