I don't know why the cpu servers don't ask
by default anymore.  My best guess would be
that when bootstrapping the system before 
authentication, it got commented out and 
never put back because no one wanted it.
Uncomment the call to pass(key) in
/sys/src/cmd/init.c and mk init.install if
you want it.  We do have one system that
runs a modified init with this change, but
it's the exception.
