user usage
----------
-For a user to update their ms known_hosts file:
+For a user to update their known_hosts file:
-$ rhesus --known_hosts
+$ monkeysphere update-known_hosts
-For a user to update their ms authorized_keys file:
+For a user to update their monkeysphere authorized_keys file:
-$ rhesus --authorized_keys
+$ monkeysphere update-authorized_keys
server service publication
--------------------------
-To publish a server host key use the "howler" component:
+To publish a server host key:
-# howler gen-key
-# howler publish-key
+# monkeysphere-server gen-key
+# monkeysphere-server publish-key
This will generate the key for server with the service URI
(ssh://server.hostname). The server admin should now sign the server
server authorized_keys maintenance
----------------------------------
-A system can maintain ms authorized_keys files for it's users. Some
-different variables need to be defined to help manage this. The way
-this is done is by first defining a new MS_HOME:
+A system can maintain monkeysphere authorized_keys files for it's
+users.
-MS_HOME=/etc/monkeysphere
-
-This directory would then have a monkeysphere.conf which defines the
-following variables:
+For each user account on the server, the userids of people authorized
+to log into that account would be placed in:
-AUTH_USER_FILE="$MS_HOME"/auth_user_ids/"$USER"
-STAGING_AREA=/var/lib/monkeysphere/stage/$USER
-GNUPGHOME=$MS_HOME/gnupg
+/etc/monkeysphere/authorized_user_file/USER
-For each user account on the server, the userids of people authorized
-to log into that account would be placed in the AUTH_USER_FILE for
-that user. However, in order for users to become authenticated, the
-server must determine that the user keys have "full" validity. This
-means that the server must fully trust at least one person whose
-signature on the connecting users key would validate the user. This
-would generally be the server admin. If the server admin's keyid is
-XXXXXXXX, then on the server run:

-To update the ms authorized_keys file for user "bob", the system would
-then run the following:

+# monkeysphere-server update-users bob
-To update the ms authorized_keys file for all users on the the system:
+To update the monkeysphere authorized_keys file for all users on the
+the system, run the same command with no arguments:
-MS_HOME=/etc/monkeysphere
-for USER in $(ls -1 /etc/monkeysphere/auth_user_ids) ; do
- rhesus --authorized_keys
-done
