SMF Cookie Name

I have 5 forums running SMF 2.0 Beta 4.

However, they all use the same cookie name.
Should I change the name on 4 of them?

They all were set at: SMFCookie102
Then used repair_settings.php and it wanted them all set at: SMFCookie11
SO I did. The sites seem to work, but I'm not too sure about 5 domains using the same cookie name.

Any help here would be appreciated. :)


I mainly want to know, is it safe to name the cookie something like the site name?

The cookie name needs to be different if you have everything running under the same domain (or same subdomains if you enable the option to share cookies accross wildcard domains).

Namecheap (domains)
Fastmail (e-mail)
Linode (VPS)

Yeah, I changed them all.

I was just curious mainly to why all got set to the same, and if I could basically name them whatever I wanted to.
