Re: [9fans] ssh host key

invalidate the nvram first and make sure you set the secstore password
correctly to the one that you have set for hostowner's user in
secstored when it asks you on the next reboot. if you have done
already then simply cat the nvram partition: you should be able to see
it in full and in plain text and see if it's truncated.

if the system and secstore passwords are different for hostowner
perhaps there may be a bug in parsing the nvram. they are the same
around here so i've never tested that condition.
