[OTR-users] generating keys

[CLAY SHENTRUP]

i think i found a pattern here. every time i change the resource name, say
from work to home, that causes a new key to be generated.

now i've already stated that i think it's bad to generate a different key
for every account, as opposed to a per user/machine. but i'm sure there's
some reason for this to account for the extra verification that has to take
place (that drives my friends nuts!). however, i think most people would
agree that a new key just for changing the resource name on the same
accountis taking it a little too far. and besides, "resource" is
basically tied to
the local device. it makes sense if i have a different key for my usb drive,
with the resource as "FLASH DRIVE", than the one on my home machine where
the resource is "HOME". but how would it make sense to have two different
keys for two different resources for the same account on the same device? am
i making any sense here?

thanks,
clay
