147     .SH "DESCRIPTION"
148     .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
149     This is the control program for the \f(CW\*(C`gvpe\*(C'\fR, the virtual private ethernet daemon.
150     .SH "OPTIONS"
151     .IX Header "OPTIONS"
152     .IP "\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-config=\fR\fI\s-1DIR\s0\fR" 4
153     .IX Item "-c, --config=DIR"
154     Read configuration options from \fI\s-1DIR\s0\fR.
155 root 1.9 .IP "\fB\-g\fR, \fB\-\-generate\-key=path\fR" 4
156     .IX Item "-g, --generate-key=path"
157     Generates a single \s-1RSA\s0 key-pair. The public key will be stored in \fI\fIpath\fI\fR
158     while the private key will be stored in \fI\fIpath\fI .privkey\fR. Neither file must be
159     non-empty for this to succeed.
160     .Sp
161     The public key file \fI\fIpath\fI\fR is normally copied to \fIpubkey/nodename\fR in
162     the config directory on all nodes, while the private key \fI\fIpath\fI.privkey\fR
163     should be copied to the file \fIhostkey\fR on the node the key is for.
164     .Sp
165     It's recommended to generate the keypair on the node where it will be
166     used, so that the private key file does not have to travel over the
167     network.
168     .IP "\fB\-G\fR, \fB\-\-generate\-keys\fR" 4
169     .IX Item "-G, --generate-keys"
170     Generate public/private \s-1RSA\s0 key-pairs for all nodes not having a key and exit.
171     .Sp
172     Note that in normal configurations this will fail, as there cna only be
173     one private key per host. To make this configuration work you need to
174     specify separate keyfiles for hostkeys in your config file, e.g.:
175     .Sp
176     .Vb 1
177     \& private\-key = hostkeys/%s
178     .Ve
179     .Sp
180     Such a configuration makes it easier to distribute a configuration
181     centrally but requires private keys to be transported securely over the
182     network.
183 pcg 1.6 .IP "\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR" 4
184     .IX Item "-q, --quiet"
185     Suppresses messages the author finds nonessential for scripting purposes.
186 pcg 1.1 .IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
187     .IX Item "--help"
188     Display short list of options.
189     .IP "\fB\-\-kill\fR[\fB=\fR\fI\s-1SIGNAL\s0\fR]" 4
190     .IX Item "--kill[=SIGNAL]"
191     Attempt to kill a running \f(CW\*(C`gvpectrl\*(C'\fR (optionally with the specified
192     \&\fI\s-1SIGNAL\s0\fR instead of \f(CW\*(C`SIGTERM\*(C'\fR) and exit.
193     .IP "\fB\-\-show\-config\fR" 4
194     .IX Item "--show-config"
195     Show a summary of the configuration, and how gvpe interprets it. Can also be very useful
196     when designing firewall scripts.
197     .IP "\fB\-\-version\fR" 4
198     .IX Item "--version"
199     Output version information and exit.
200     .SH "BUGS"
