-What if everything that's done in the package post-installation
-scripts (aside from maybe the creation of the monkeysphere user
-itself) was done with a single call to something like
-
-    monkeysphere-server setup
-
-This would make things more obvious to folks installing from source
-directly, and put less maintenance load on porters.  The end of
-`monkeysphere-server setup` could also invoke `monkeysphere-server
-diagnostics` to get the admin pointed in the right direction.
-
-Think of this as a sort of automated "Getting Started" documentation.
-
-Of course, a hypothetical *full* setup command would do things like
-`gen-key`, auto-modify `sshd_config`, etc.  We wouldn't want to do
-those things automatically without the guiding hand of the local
-sysadmin.
-
-But perhaps we could even smooth that process with:
-
-    monkeysphere-server setup --full
-
-I'd like to know what other folks think about these possibilities.
-Would either of these be useful?  Are they confusing?  Could they be
-clarified?

-I'm not sure how I feel about this idea.  I feel like it should just
-be the job of the package to setup the initial server environment.  I
-don't really feel like the admin should have to worry about it.  But
-then again, I can sort of see it from the point of view of someone
-just installing from source (but who the hell really does that
-anymore anyway?).
-
-I'm also sort of mixed about the setup --full idea as well.  At first
-I thought that it wasn't a good idea, and that I didn't like the idea
-of monkeysphere monkeying around with the config files of other
-packages (ie. ssh).  However, once I started to think about setting up
-monkeysphere on lots of servers, I started to think that it's maybe a
-good idea.  It might be good to have a single command that would just
-end with the server being on the monkeysphere:
-
-  * generate the server key
-  * modify sshd to point to it
-  * restart ssh
-  * publish the key to the keyserver
-
-So I'm starting to think that this might be a good idea.  Also curious
-what other think.
