.Dd January 8, 2005 .Dt GSHSEC 8 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm gshsec .Nd "control utility for shared secret devices" .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Cm label .Op Fl hv .Ar name .Ar prov prov ... .Nm .Cm stop .Op Fl fv .Ar name ... .Nm .Cm clear .Op Fl v .Ar prov ... .Nm .Cm dump .Ar prov ... .Nm .Cm list .Op Ar name ... .Nm .Cm load .Op Fl v .Nm .Cm unload .Op Fl v .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm utility is used for setting up a device which contains shared secret. The secret is shared between the given providers. To collect the secret, all providers are needed. If one of the components is missing, there is no way to get any useful data from the rest of them. The first argument to .Nm indicates an action to be performed: l -tag -width ".Cm destroy" t Cm label Set up a shared secret device from the given components with the specified .Ar name . Metadata are stored in every component's last sector. t Cm stop Turn off an existing shared secret device by its .Ar name . This command does not touch on-disk metadata! t Cm clear Clear metadata on the given providers. t Cm dump Dump metadata stored on the given providers. t Cm list List all or the given currently configured shared secret devices. t Cm load Load

a geom_shsec.ko kernel module. t Cm unload Unload

a geom_shsec.ko kernel module. .El

p Additional options: l -tag -width ".Fl f" t Fl f Force the removal of the specified shared secret device. t Fl h Hardcode providers' names in metadata. t Fl v Be more verbose. .El .Sh EXAMPLES The following example shows how to created a shared secret device. Secret will be split between a slice on the local disk and a USB Pen drive. d -literal -offset indent gshsec label -v secret /dev/ad0s1 /dev/da0 newfs /dev/shsec/secret .Ed

p From now on, when USB Pen drive will be inserted, it will be automatically detected and connected making secret available via

a /dev/shsec/secret device. .Sh DIAGNOSTICS Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr geom 4 , .Xr gbde 8 , .Xr geom 8 , .Xr newfs 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm utility appeared in .Fx 5.4 . .Sh AUTHORS .An Pawel Jakub Dawidek Aq pjd@FreeBSD.org
