The place for the "secretphrase" would be where the cfhead.m4 says:

        _REC_FULL_AUTH_$?{auth_ssf} bits=${auth_ssf}$.)

right?

BTW, mine says "rec_full_auth" instead of the "rec_auth" that comes with 
the stock cf file so I can tell *who* authenticated - not just the fact 
that the message *was* authenticated.
