For things like ssh host keys I have a command that we run which copies
them into the NFSROOT, and then a cron job that runs every minute that
removes "expired" files from the NFSROOT. Given our NFSROOT is on a
restricted network I feel that is sufficient.

I know someone who had GPG encrypted tarballs, but that required
entering a passphrase during the build process.

Another option for ssh which I am considering is using PKI for it. Then
servers and clients just need to trust a CA.


Cheers,
Andrew
