even a manual process would be cleaner and
likely more secure than the current setup:

        ; echo export>/mnt/factotum/ctl
        ; secstore password: *****

editing one's secstore factotum file is something
that's easy to get wrong and easy to do insecurely.
e.g. giving the wrong arguments to ramfs.
