Hi,

Is there any plans to allow cfkey to create client keys so that they may
be distributed to the client during install time?


Thanks,
Harry


I think that you are thinking in too centralized a manner. Why not just
let each host generate its own key, if none is found?

The reason that is not currently a problem for me, but may be someday, is that I'd like to be able to rebuild a machine from scratch. If the key is stored centrally, and can be transferred back onto the new machine, that solves one problem. Of course, there are other ways.
