NAME

       ipsec_newhostkey - generate a new raw RSA authentication key for a host

SYNOPSIS

       ipsec newhostkey [[--configdirnssdbdir] | [--password password]] [[--quiet] | [--verbose]] [--bits bits] [--random device]
	     [--hostname hostname] [--output filename]

DESCRIPTION

       newhostkey outputs (into filename, which can be '-' for standard output) an RSA private key suitable for this host, in /etc/ipsec.secrets
       format (see ipsec.secrets(5)) using the --quiet option per default.

       The --output option is mandatory. The specified filename is created under umask 077 if nonexistent; if it already exists and is non-empty,
       a warning message about that is sent to standard error, and the output is appended to the file.

       The --quiet option suppresses both the rsasigkey narrative and the existing-file warning message.

       When compiled with NSS support (the default), --configdir specifies the nss configuration directory where the certificate key, and modsec
       databases reside. There is no default value, though /etc/ipsec.d might be sensible choice.

       When compiled with NSS support (the default), --password specifies a module authentication password that may be required if FIPS mode is
       enabled

       The --bits option specifies the number of bits in the RSA key; the current default is a random (multiple of 16) value between 3072 and
       4096. The minimum allowed is 2172.

       The --random is used to specify the random device (default /dev/random used to seed the crypto library RNG.

       The --hostname option is passed through to rsasigkey to tell it what host name to label the output with (via its --hostname option).

       The output format is that of rsasigkey, with bracketing added to complete the ipsec.secrets format. In the usual case, where ipsec.secrets
       contains only the hostas own private key, the output of newhostkey is sufficient as a complete ipsec.secrets file.

FILES

       /dev/random, /dev/urandom

BUGS

       As with rsasigkey, the run time is difficult to predict, since depletion of the systemas randomness pool can cause arbitrarily long waits
       for random bits, and the prime-number searches can also take unpre dictable (and potentially large) amounts of CPU time. See
       ipsec_rsasigkey(8) .

       A higher-level tool which could handle the clerical details of changing to a new key would be helpful.

       ipsec addconn --help

DESCRIPTION

       ipsec addconn takes a config file (or stdin) containing the format of ipsec.conf, or the format of individual "conn" sections, and uses
       that information to load named or all connections defined in that configuration file into the running libreswan pluto IKE daemon. If no
       configuration file is specified, the default configuration file is used. If no pluto socket is specified, the default socket location will
       be used.

       When --addall is used, all connections defined in the config file will be operated on. Otherwise, only the specified connection names will
       be affected.

       When addcon is run, connections that have the auto= option set to add, start or route will be loaded, routed or initiated. If a connection
       was loaded or initiated already, it will be replaced.

       When --configsetup is specified, the configuration file is parsed for the config setup section and printed to the terminal usable as a
       shell script. These are prefaced with export unless --noexport is specified.

       When --checkconfig is specified, the configuration file is parsed and all sections are checked for correct syntax. If an error is found,
       information about it is printed to the terminal.

       When --listroute or --liststart is specified, no connections are added or replaced, only shown. This command can be used to verify which
       connections the addcon command would act upon, without actually performing any action.
