\fBmonkeysphere-host\fP takes various subcommands:
.TP
+.B show-key
+Output information about host's OpenPGP and SSH keys. `s' may be used
+in place of `show-key'.
+.TP
.B extend-key EXPIRE
Extend the validity of the OpenPGP key for the host until EXPIRE from
the present. If EXPIRE is not specified, then the user will be
<n>y = key expires in n years
.fi
`e' may be used in place of `extend-key'.
-
.TP
.B add-hostname HOSTNAME
Add a hostname user ID to the server host key. `n+' may be used in
in place of `revoke-hostname'.
.TP
.B add-revoker FINGERPRINT
-
+Add a revoker to the host's OpenPGP key. `o' may be be used in place
+of `add-revoker'.
.TP
-.B show-key
-Output gpg information about host's OpenPGP key. `s' may be used in
-place of `show-key'.
+.B revoke-key
+Revoke the host's OpenPGP key. `r' may be used in place of
+`revoke-key'.
.TP
.B publish-key
Publish the host's OpenPGP key to the keyserver. `p' may be used in
.TP
.B version

.SH "EXPERT" SUBCOMMANDS
+
Some commands are very unlikely to be needed by most administrators.
-These commands must follow the word `expert'.
+These commands must prefaced by the word `expert'.
.TP
.B gen-key [HOSTNAME]
Generate a OpenPGP key for the host. If HOSTNAME is not specified,
alternate key bit length can be specified with the `-l' or `--length'
option (default 2048). An expiration length can be specified with the
`-e' or `--expire' option (prompt otherwise). The expiration format
-is the same as that of \fBextend-key\fP, below. A key revoker
-fingerprint can be specified with the `-r' or `--revoker' option. `g'
-may be used in place of `gen-key'.
-
-.TP
-.B diagnostics
-Review the state of the server with respect to the MonkeySphere in
-general and report on suggested changes. Among other checks, this
-includes making sure there is a valid host key, that the key is
-published, that the sshd configuration points to the right place, and
-that there are at least some valid identity certifiers. `d' may be
-used in place of `diagnostics'.

--keyfile (-f) FILE key file to import
--expire (-e) EXPIRE date to expire

-.SH SETUP
+.SH SETUP HOST AUTHENTICATION
-In order to start using the monkeysphere, you must first generate an
-OpenPGP key for the server and convert that key to an ssh key that can
-be used by ssh for host authentication. This can be done with the
-\fBgen-key\fP subcommand:
+To enable host verification via the monkeysphere, the host's key must
+be published to the Web of Trust. This is not done by default. To
+publish the host key to the keyservers, run the following command:
-$ monkeysphere-server gen-key
+$ monkeysphere-host publish-key
-To enable host verification via the monkeysphere, you must then
-publish the host's key to the Web of Trust using the \fBpublish-key\fP
-command to push the key to a keyserver. You must also modify the
-sshd_config on the server to tell sshd where the new server host key
-is located:
+You must also modify the sshd_config on the server to tell sshd where
+the new server host key is located:
-HostKey /var/lib/monkeysphere/ssh_host_rsa_key
+HostKey /var/lib/monkeysphere/host/ssh_host_rsa_key
In order for users logging into the system to be able to identify the
host via the monkeysphere, at least one person (e.g. a server admin)
will need to sign the host's key. This is done using standard OpenPGP
-keysigning techniques, usually: pul the key from the keyserver, verify
-and sign the key, and then re-publish the signature. Once an admin's
-signature is published, users logging into the host can use it to
-validate the host's key.

+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+The following environment variables will override those specified in
+the config file (defaults in parentheses):

Set the log level (INFO). Can be SILENT, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, in
increasing order of verbosity.

+OpenPGP keyserver to use (pool.sks-keyservers.net).
