I would like to be able to create a rescue disk for my system in which the admin user's home directory contains a copy of an encrypted key, for manually unlocking encrypted disk drives.
Following a short discussion in IRC, it appears the best route to achieve this would be to link *guix system* and *guix home* together, so that the system configuration file can specify (user-account ... (configuration (local-file "my-home-config.scm"))) for example (it should be possible to use either (home-configuration) or a file-like object here). Hopefully this is an easy thing to accomplish, but I don't know... Thanks, Dale
