A question: how to feed a private (SSH host) key(s) to eve's factotum
during the boot?
The first what comes up to my mind is to save the key somewhere on
fileserver, then to feed it to factotum from cpurc.
Feel there should be other way...
P.S. Cpu, auth, fs and secstore are all the same machine.
Thanks.

put them in secstore. you may need to run auth/wrkey
to save the secstore key in the "nvram" file. the key is
saved in plan text, unfortunately. also beware that your
secstore key is limited to 8 characters.

I've got this in my cpurc:
auth/secstore -n -G factotum |read -m >>/mnt/factotum/ctl
Although I've forgotten how I set up the secstore for the cpu server.
That's the downside with systems that just work.

The solution is natural and easy.
Thanks a lot, gentlemen.
Yarek.
