NTP-KEYGEN(1)                                Programmer's Manual                               NTP-KEYGEN(1)



NAME
       ntp-keygen - Create a NTP host key

SYNOPSIS
       ntp-keygen [-flag [value]]... [--opt-name [[=| ]value]]...

       All arguments must be options.

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual  page documents, briefly, the ntp-keygen command.  If there is no new host key, look for
       an existing one.  If one is not found, create it.

OPTIONS
       -c scheme, --certificate=scheme
              certificate scheme.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -d, --debug-level
              Increase output debug message level.  This option may appear an unlimited number of times.

              Increase the debugging message output level.

       -D string, --set-debug-level=string
              Set the output debug message level.  This option may appear an unlimited number of times.

              Set the output debugging level.  Can be supplied multiple times, but each overrides the previ-ous previous
              ous value(s).

       -e, --id-key
              Write identity keys.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -G, --gq-params
              Generate GQ parameters and keys.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -g, --gq-keys
              update GQ keys.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -H, --host-key
              generate RSA host key.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -I, --iffkey
              generate IFF parameters.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -i, --issuer-name
              set issuer name.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -M, --md5key
              generate MD5 keys.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -m modulus, --modulus=modulus
              modulus.   This  option takes an integer number as its argument.  The value of modulus is con-strained constrained
              strained to being:
                  in the range  256 through 2048

              Just some descriptive text.

       -P, --pvt-cert
              generate PC private certificate.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -p passwd, --pvt-passwd=passwd
              output private password.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -q passwd, --get-pvt-passwd=passwd
              input private password.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -S sign, --sign-key=sign
              generate sign key (RSA or DSA).

              Just some descriptive text.

       -s host, --subject-name=host
              set subject name.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -T, --trusted-cert
              trusted certificate (TC scheme).

              Just some descriptive text.

       -V num, --mv-params=num
              generate <num> MV parameters.  This option takes an integer number as its argument.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -v num, --mv-keys=num
              update <num> MV keys.  This option takes an integer number as its argument.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -?, --help
              Display usage information and exit.

       -!, --more-help
              Extended usage information passed thru pager.

       -> [rcfile], --save-opts[=rcfile]
              Save the option state to rcfile.  The default is the last configuration file listed in the
              OPTION PRESETS section, below.

       -< rcfile, --load-opts=rcfile, --no-load-opts
              Load options from rcfile.  The no-load-opts form will disable the loading of earlier RC/INI
              files.  --no-load-opts is handled early, out of order.

       -v [{v|c|n}], --version[={v|c|n}]
              Output version of program and exit.  The default mode is `v', a simple version.  The `c' mode
              will print copyright information and `n' will print the full copyright notice.

OPTION PRESETS
       Any option that is not marked as not presettable may be preset by loading values from configuration
       ("RC" or ".INI") file(s) and values from environment variables named:
         NTP_KEYGEN_<option-name> or NTP_KEYGEN
       The environmental presets take precedence (are processed later than) the configuration files.  The
       homerc files are "$HOME", and ".".  If any of these are directories, then the file .ntprc is searched
       for within those directories.
