Re: [mongodb-user] authentication with mongoimport

[Scott Hernandez]

You must use user authentication with a username and password. The
keyFile is just used for server to server communication where a user
is not involved.

Cool thanks.  Got it.  

For anyone else who stumbles here:

I started a mongod config with the --keyFile arg.  Then I logged in from localhost and added an admin.  Now I can mongoimport --file x --user admin --password <pw> and it works.
