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

163
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>password-request</refentrytitle>

<manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The keys are
183
165
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
