Offhand I can't think of a way around it. With the mobile hosts, the
cfservd process they phone home to probably doesn't use a whole lot in
the way of admit: restrictions anyways. Most of the access control will
be whether or not the connection is allowed after key exchange, then yes
or no stuff in the admit sections (as in don't allow cfrunCommand but
allow anyone we allow connections from to copy any files we give cfservd
access to).

That's how it seems to me, anyways.
