Thanks for the bug report and the diagnosis! I've pushed out a patch
(cc'd to you and the list) and a new rpm at

   idmgr-0.7.16.gaf830ef-1.xs9.noarch.rpm

cc'ing dsd as his installs probably are having the same prob.

The update doesn't have anything to fix the missing ssh keys. You do
have them in the sqlite3 db, so you can probably fix it with a bit of
shell along the lines of

sqlite3 -column /home/idmgr/identity.db 'SELECT serial, pubkey from
laptops' > /tmp/snpubkeys
for line in `cat /tmp/snpubkeys`; do
   sn=`echo $line | cut -f1`
   pk=`echo $line | cut -f2`
   echo "ssh-dss $pk" > /library/users/$sn/.ssh/authorized_keys
   chown $sn.sn /library/users/$sn/.ssh/authorized_keys
done

(untested!, if you do get to polish a working one, do post it!)
