I think there is another wrinkle I forgot to mention, when I import my /net.alt I
do this over an authenticated connection to another plan9 machine. This needs
my key which is held in factotum, so factotum must be already running.

Factotum doesn't get its keys until I manualy extract them from secstore
and write them to /mnt/factotum/ctl, it would be at this point I would
have to inject a namespace change to factotum.

I suspose I could add /mnt/factotum/ns file which I could write to after loading the keys.

All feels a bit clunky.
