Hecate's sync sub-command will pull a snapshot of all public keys a user has provisioned to Consul and create an authorized_keys file for that user. If one exists, the current authorized_keys file is backed up to authorized_keys.bak. If the --all flag is specified, the sync will run for all users that have accounts on the current host and also have public keys provisioned in Consul. This command, when not run as root, will only allow synchronization of the authorized_keys file for the user who is running the command. NOTE: The authorized_keys file produced by this command will be overwritten the next time the daemon wakes up.
