Message-ID: <e03ac7325f10f6032ed307fc55236565@9fs.org> (raw)

How do I keep the secret key for the tls/ssl certificate safe?
It must be present on the cpu server (or file server) since it needs
to be loaded into factotum some time. I guess it could be done from
a floppy (or similar removeable device) after oboot, and then removed.

However, this prevents unattended reboot. Is making the key owned by
bootes and inaccessible by group and other enough?
