i'm not sure i understand what you are doing.  you shouldn't be running
plumber as eve (typically bootes) on a cpu server to add stuff to the
default namespace.

typically what one would do to accomplish what you are doing on a
cpu server is to use /lib/namespace.$machine to mount your fs as none,
or in this case a user with only read permissions.  this will add all the
stuff listed to the namespace of any process cpu'ing in.  (though not
to the console's namespace; this needs to be done in /rc/bin/cpurc.)

you can store whatever authentication keys you require in addition
to the eve's key in secstore.

sounds very complicated.  i'm not sure i understand.
