Maybe I am missing something but sss_seed requires a password.
Only the user itself can provide a password  for himself , even a temporary one 
otherwise he can pretend it was not him who did evil things.
And sss_seed would be needed for all remote users.
I just need one local user (and I have already root) for which I must manage 
the password  according to the various security standards we are subject to.
Managing the root password is not exactly a piece of cake, I was hoping to get 
rid of it.
