#c/key is replaced by factotum.  If you want a getty-like program on the
console server, have it query factotum for logins.

That must be because:

	if(consctl<0 || key<0 || write(consctl, "rawon", 5) != 5)
		print("init: can't check password; insecure\n");

which could be due to a number of causes.  Maybe we can check which of

	consctl = open("#c/consctl", OWRITE);
	key = open("#c/key", OREAD);
	write(consctl, "rawon", 5);

is most likely to have failed.  Hm, /dev/key (#c/key) doesn't seem to
exist anymore.  Any suggestions from Bell Labs?
