<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
181
177
<command>&COMMANDNAME;</command> is a program to generate the
183
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>mandos-client</refentrytitle>
184
<manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The key is
179
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>password-request</refentrytitle>
180
<manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The keys are
185
181
normally written to /etc/mandos for later installation into the
186
initrd image, but this, and most other things, can be changed
187
with command line options.
190
This program can also be used with the
191
<option>--password</option> or <option>--passfile</option>
192
options to generate a ready-made section for
193
<filename>clients.conf</filename> (see

195
<manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).

183
command line options.

This program is a small utility to generate new OpenPGP keys for
386
new Mandos clients, and to generate sections for inclusion in
