Looks like sources doesn't reflect what we do here.  We moved that
cruft out of /rc/bin/service.auth a while ago.

It used to be in service.auth because it needed to get at the TLS
private key.  We fixed that.

I'll fix sources.

It's easiest achieved by the user login in which just goes via
factotum.  Factotum talks to the auth server but it doesn't matter
whether the auth server is local or remote.
