Security people are supposed to be paranoid about unlikely threats because
attackers are good about finding ways to make the unlikely possible.

The idea here is that Eve uses the fact that her key verifies the good signature
on the good copy of MalAssassin to trick Bob into accepting that her key is a
new one for the software releases. She can't do that if the keys are
cross-certified.

I will, but I have to be reminded what is the hostname for the zone machine and
if I have to do anything special to get ssh and sudo access to it.
