146 [\fB\-\-kill\fR[\fB=\fR\fI\s-1SIGNAL\s0\fR]] [\fB\-\-show\-config\fR] [\fB\-\-version\fR]
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 .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 .IP "\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR" 4
184 .IX Item "-q, --quiet"
185 Suppresses messages the author finds nonessential for scripting purposes.
186 .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"
