</I>><i>
</I>><i> I vote too for using a custom action, to store the key on a separate
</I>><i> account, and use it with a script run with sudo.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> It can be done with a cron job too, but it will slower I think. Is there
</I>><i> any advantage doing it with a cron job ?
</I>
No. But as we will also use a cronjob to recreate hdlist, this would
have made sense maybe.

</I>><i>
</I>><i> That would mean having unsigned cauldron packages ?
</I>
that would ease the PLF hidden secret plan, but no, I wanted to say
"resign packages".

root, 600.
See in the module ( I really need to install viewvc to give url to the
file ).
