To use omshell it is necessary to supply a secret key. According to the docs this must be done by providing the secret value directly on an omshell command. This is not desirable from a security pov (the key has to constantly be in scrollback, cut and pasted, on the screen, etc.) It also hinders automatation. omshell should be able to read the secret key from a file. Ideally, it would be able to read the secret key from the dhcpd.conf. Thanks, Ian.
