there are several other environment variables:

        nvram=file
        nvrlen=length
        nvroff=offset
          This is used to specify an nvram device and optionally the
          length of the ram and read/write offset to use.  These val-
          ues are consulted by readnvram (see authsrv(2)). The most
          common use of the nvram is to hold a secstore(1) password
          for use by factotum(4).
