Hello,

While  attempting to  use skey  I  noticed a  small discrepancy  between
skey(5) and the actual program behavior:

$ skeyinit -sha1 -n 10000
skeyinit: count must be > 0 and < 10000

lib/libskey/skey.h has the following #define:

/* Maximum sequence number we allow */
#define SKEY_MAX_SEQ            10000   

But the man page says:

    This is a decimal number between one and one thousand.

Here's a fix to the man page:
