NAME
ipsec showhostkey - show host's authentication key
SYNOPSIS
ipsec
showhostkey
DESCRIPTION
Showdefaults
outputs (on standard output) a DNS KEY record suitable for this host,
using the host key information stored in
ipsec.secrets.
In general only the super-user can run this command.
The host name supplied in the KEY record is the output of
hostname --fqdn
with a
.
appended.
DIAGNOSTICS
A complaint about ``no IN KEY line found'' indicates that the
host has a key but it was generated with an old version of FreeS/WAN
and does not contain the information that
showhostkey
needs.
FILES
/etc/ipsec.secrets
SEE ALSO
ipsec.secrets(5), ipsec_rsasigkey(8)
HISTORY
Written for the Linux FreeS/WAN project
<http://www.xs4all.nl/~freeswan/>
by Henry Spencer.
BUGS
Arguably,
rather than just reporting the no-IN-KEY-line-found problem,
showhostkey
should be smart enough to run the existing key through
rsasigkey
with the
--oldkey
option, to generate a suitable output line.
