.SH DESCRIPTION
-MonkeySphere is a system to leverage the OpenPGP Web of Trust for ssh
-authentication and encryption. OpenPGP keys are tracked via GnuPG,
-and added to the ssh authorized_keys and known_hosts files to be used
-for authentication of ssh connections.
+\fBMonkeysphere\fP is a framework to leverage the OpenPGP web of trust
+for OpenSSH authentication. OpenPGP keys are tracked via GnuPG, and
+added to the authorized_keys and known_hosts files used by OpenSSH for
+connection authentication.
-\fBmonkeysphere\fP is the MonkeySphere client utility.

.SH SUBCOMMANDS
.TP
.B update-known_hosts [HOST]...
Update the known_hosts file. For each specified host, gpg will be
-queried for a key associated with the host URI (see HOST URIs),
-querying a keyserver if specified. If a key is found, it will be
-converted to an ssh key, and any matching ssh keys will be removed
-from the user's known_hosts file. If the found key is acceptable (see
-KEY ACCEPTABILITY), then the key will be updated and re-added to the
-known_hosts file. If no gpg key is found for the host, then nothing
-is done. If no hosts are specified, all hosts listed in the
-known_hosts file will be processed. `k' may be used in place of
+queried for a key associated with the host URI (see HOST
+IDENTIFICATION in
+.BR monkeysphere(5)),
+optionally querying a keyserver.
+If an acceptable key is found for the host (see KEY ACCEPTABILITY in
+.BR monkeysphere(5)),
+the key is added to the user's known_hosts file. If a key is found
+but is unacceptable for the host, any matching keys are removed from
+the user's known_hosts file. If no gpg key is found for the host,
+nothing is done. If no hosts are specified, all hosts listed in the
+known_hosts file will be processed. This subcommand will exit with a
+status of 0 if at least one acceptable key was found for a specified
+host, 1 if no matching keys were found at all, and 2 if matching keys
+were found but none were acceptable. `k' may be used in place of
`update-known_hosts'.
.TP
.B update-authorized_keys
-Update the monkeysphere authorized_keys file. For each user ID in the
-user's authorized_user_ids file, gpg will be queried for keys
-associated with that user ID, querying a keyserver if specified. If a
-key is found, it will be converted to an ssh key, and any matching ssh
-keys will be removed from the user's authorized_keys file. If the
-found key is acceptable (see KEY ACCEPTABILITY), then the key will be
-updated and re-added to the authorized_keys file. If no gpg key is
-found for the user ID, then nothing is done. `a' may be used in place
-of `update-authorized_keys'.
+Update the authorized_keys file for the user executing the command
+(see MONKEYSPHERE_AUTHORIZED_KEYS in ENVIRONMENT, below). First all
+monkeysphere keys are cleared from the authorized_keys file. Then, or
+each user ID in the user's authorized_user_ids file, gpg will be
+queried for keys associated with that user ID, optionally querying a
+keyserver. If an acceptable key is found (see KEY ACCEPTABILITY in
+.BR monkeysphere (5)),
+the key is added to the user's authorized_keys file.
+If a key is found but is unacceptable for the user ID, any matching
+keys are removed from the user's authorized_keys file. If no gpg key
+is found for the user ID, nothing is done. This subcommand will exit
+with a status of 0 if at least one acceptable key was found for a user
+ID, 1 if no matching keys were found at all, and 2 if matching keys
+were found but none were acceptable. `a' may be used in place of
+`update-authorized_keys'.
.TP
-.B gen-subkey KEYID
-Generate an `a` capable subkey. For the primary key with the
-specified key ID, generate a subkey with "authentication" capability
-that can be used for MonkeySphere transactions. `g' may be used in
-place of `gen-subkey'.
+.B gen-subkey [KEYID]
+Generate an authentication subkey for a private key in your GnuPG
+keyring. For the primary key with the specified key ID, generate a
+subkey with "authentication" capability that can be used for
+monkeysphere transactions. An expiration length can be specified with
+the `-e' or `--expire' option (prompt otherwise). If no key ID is
+specified, but only one key exists in the secret keyring, that key
+will be used. `g' may be used in place of `gen-subkey'.
+.TP
+.B subkey-to-ssh-agent [ssh-add arguments]
+Push all authentication-capable subkeys in your GnuPG secret keyring
+into your running ssh-agent. Additional arguments are passed through
+to
+.BR ssh-add (1).
+For example, to remove the authentication subkeys, pass an additional
+`-d' argument. To require confirmation on each use of the key, pass
+`-c'. `s' may be used in place of `subkey-to-ssh-agent'.
.TP
.B help
Output a brief usage summary. `h' or `?' may be used in place of
`help'.
-.SH HOST URIs
-
-Host OpenPGP keys have associated user IDs that use the ssh URI
-specification for the host, ie. "ssh://host.full.domain".
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
-.SH KEY ACCEPTABILITY
-
-GPG keys are considered acceptable if the following criteria are met:
+The following environment variables will override those specified in
+the monkeysphere.conf configuration file (defaults in parentheses):
+.TP
+MONKEYSPHERE_LOG_LEVEL
+Set the log level. Can be SILENT, ERROR, INFO, DEBUG, in increasing
+order of verbosity.
+.TP
+MONKEYSPHERE_GNUPGHOME, GNUPGHOME
+GnuPG home directory (~/.gnupg).
+.TP
+MONKEYSPHERE_KEYSERVER
+OpenPGP keyserver to use (subkeys.pgp.net).
+.TP
+MONKEYSPHERE_CHECK_KEYSERVER
+Whether or not to check keyserver when making gpg queries (`true').
+.TP
+MONKEYSPHERE_KNOWN_HOSTS
+Path to ssh known_hosts file (~/.ssh/known_hosts).
.TP
-.B capability
-The key must have the "authentication" ("a") usage flag set.
+MONKEYSPHERE_HASH_KNOWN_HOSTS
+Whether or not to hash to the known_hosts file entries (`true').
.TP
-.B validity
-The key must be "fully" valid, and must not be expired or revoked.
+MONKEYSPHERE_AUTHORIZED_KEYS
+Path to ssh authorized_keys file (~/.ssh/authorized_keys).
