==================================================

Moved this ticket to devel.

If you set up your own planetlab servers and installed your nodes off of 
them (so they don't contact our servers), you can just change the node 
root key by copying it to /etc/planetlab/node_root_key. To make it take 
effect, reboot the node so PlanetLabConf is run (normally happens every 
24 hours).
