I believe I figured it out after a bit of experimenting with it.

What threw me off originally was the fact that I could run auth/cron on
non-auth cpu servers without any problem, however I realized that the
factotum for the host owner knew how to authenticate to the auth server,
and had the proper capabilities to become me...

at least it stopped working when I deleted the keys from the cpu server's
factotum :)

by the way, do you think that it's a bad idea to give secstore access to a
cpu server's hostowner?
