Bob,

I currently start VenueServer at boot time from a /etc/rc.d script. Part
of this script ensures that a proxy is available by running
grid-proxy-init before starting VenueServer.py itself. This is OK for
cases of CN=Globus but not CN=Access Grid Developers CA, due to
grid-proxy-init's search path. This is for an unattended machine; I'm
keen for the VenueServer service to start without human intervention
after a reboot.

Randy Groves just recently mentioned service certificates - certificates
without passwords? If these are implemented already, then how do I
obtain one?
