Another question, of the dumb variety:

to enable ssh logins to the system I need to do an:

	aux/rsagen -t 'service=sshnet' > /mnt/factotum/ctl

however the factotum is compiled in the kernel of the auth server and is
started from the boot script in /sys/lib/sysconfig/authsrv/...

at this point there's not secstore running so there's no way to tell
factotum what the rsagen key for the machine is, so we end up with an
unusable ssh server.

should secstore be compiled in the kernel and started right before factotum
during the boot sequence (taking the secstore key from nvram)?

or am I missing something embarrassingly trivial again?
