When I was following the instructions:

% ramfs -p; cd /tmp

%auth/secstore - g factotum

secstore password:[ user pw]

after entering the pw I got an error msg: remote file missing


After help from sirjofri on discourse and some man page reading I 
gradually started to understand the the error msg was correct. At this 
point the file doesn't exist.

So my suggestion is to add:

% touch factotum

%auth/secsstore -p factotum

before the line triggering the error msg.


I'm sorry I have not yet learned to make a patch, I  have started to read..

I would vote for not changing the code example, but adding a clarifying comment:

On the first run, auth/secstore -g factotum will result in an error because the file does not exist yet. This error can be ignored.
