Can't we assume that main server (tjener) and network connection is in
place when workstations and thin client servers are installed? I think
so.

If I remember correctly the cfengine-setup needs some keys in place
before the cfservd-communication can start, is that right? If so, I
have not been able to see a solution where we out-of-the-box can do
this keysetup without sacrifising some security. Or have I missed a
solution here?
I believe a solution where we can run a script on the main-server
(from a webmin-module or something) to "add" the workstation into the
cfservd-setup would be a satisfactory solution to the problem.
