Unable to run under sudo #18

By default, the program can't run under sudo, because it gets the user's 
directory by grabbing the UID and looking it up in the users file. On any 
sane system, the environment variable HOME will contain the user's home 
directory, and more importantly, this won't change when doing sudo.

Using a getenv() call in keyfiles.c will make it work.
