Hi,

Currently, OpenSM runs with its SMKey set to 0. This means there are no
trusted requests. In order to allow trusted requests, where more
information can be obtained from the SA, this proposal is to add the
ability to set the SM_Key as a command line option to starting SM.

The syntax would be something like:

-k[=]<SM_Key in hex>
--key[=]<SM_Key in hex>

(-s option is already taken)

[Note that SM_Key is 64 bit quantity.]

Comments ?
