<command>&COMMANDNAME;</command> is a program to generate the
184
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>mandos-client</refentrytitle>

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

<manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The keys are
186
165
normally written to /etc/mandos for later installation into the
187
initrd image, but this, and most other things, can be changed
188
with command line options.
191
This program can also be used with the
192
<option>--password</option> or <option>--passfile</option>
193
options to generate a ready-made section for
194
<filename>clients.conf</filename> (see

command line options.
