<command>&COMMANDNAME;</command> is a program to generate the
182
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>mandos-client</refentrytitle>

164

184
166
normally written to /etc/mandos for later installation into the
185
initrd image, but this, and most other things, can be changed
186
with command line options.
189
This program can also be used with the
190
<option>--password</option> or <option>--passfile</option>
191
options to generate a ready-made section for

384
This program is a small utility to generate new OpenPGP keys for
385
new Mandos clients, and to generate sections for inclusion in
