<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

<command>&COMMANDNAME;</command> is a program to generate the
190
TLS and OpenPGP keys used by
191
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>mandos-client</refentrytitle>
164
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>password-request</refentrytitle>
192
165
<manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The keys are
193
normally written to /etc/keys/mandos for later installation into
194
the initrd image, but this, and most other things, can be
195
changed with command line options.
198
This program can also be used with the
199
<option>--password</option> or <option>--passfile</option>
200
options to generate a ready-made section for
201
<filename>clients.conf</filename> (see

404
This program is a small utility to generate new TLS and OpenPGP
405
keys for new Mandos clients, and to generate sections for
406
inclusion in <filename>clients.conf</filename> on the server.
