<command>&COMMANDNAME;</command> is a program to generate the
181
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>mandos-client</refentrytitle>

<manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The key is
179
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>password-request</refentrytitle>
180
<manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The keys are
183
181
normally written to /etc/mandos for later installation into the
184
initrd image, but this, and most other things, can be changed
185
with command line options.
188
This program can also be used with the
189
<option>--password</option> or <option>--passfile</option>
190
options to generate a ready-made section for
191
<filename>clients.conf</filename> (see

This program is a small utility to generate new OpenPGP keys for
384
new Mandos clients, and to generate sections for inclusion in
