From 50dcfd72fb9f4e91692daf19696ac00b8ed08f65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe Besson Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 16:25:34 +0200 Subject: docs: drop stale MESHBAY_PASSWORD from meshbay-node(1) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Found during review: the node authenticates to the hub with its own Ed25519 identity key, not a password (per meshbay-node-user.service's own comment) — MESHBAY_PASSWORD isn't read anywhere in the node's source. The man page and the system-wide meshbay-node.service unit both still claimed it was a real hub-login secret; fixing the man page here since that's this branch's concern, the stale service-file comment is a separate, pre-existing issue.
