.Dd September 1, 2010 .Dt HKPD 1 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm hkpd .Nd HTTP key protocol daemon .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Op Fl DV .Op Fl f families .Op Fl H homedir .Op Fl h hostname .Op Fl p port .Op Fl S keyfilename .Op Fl v filename .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm daemon is used to provide public key information on a socket to client programs. The client can request the information in two separate ways, .Dq human and .Dq machine readable .

p The following options can be used to modify the behaviour of the daemon: l -tag -width protocol-families t Fl D Do not detach the daemon from the controlling tty, and keep the .Nm process running in the foreground. t Fl f Ar protocol-families allows the address families for sockets to be selected. The argument is the string concatenating the families, with .Dq 4 representing .Dv INET4 , and .Dq 6 representing .Dv INET6 . The default value for this parameter is .Dq 46 which means that both INET4 and INET6 protocol families are used when setting up the sockets. t Fl H Ar homedir Use the setting of .Dv homedir as the directory for the public key keyrings. t Fl h Ar hostname Set the hostname (for use in binding sockets). t Fl p Ar port Set the port number (for use in binding sockets). The default port number is the .Dq hkp service, defined as port .Dv 11371 . t Fl S Ar sshkeyfile Serve the ssh public keys found in the key file. The default file for the ssh key is

a $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub . t Fl V Display the version number of the daemon and exit. t Fl v Ar filename Produce extra debugging output from the internal file named .Dv filename . .El

p The .Nm daemon is built on .Xr libnetpgp 3 and returns public key information as held in the public keyring of the user running the .Nm daemon utility by default.

p The information returned to the HKP client is encoded in JSON using the .Xr libmj 3 library. .Sh EXIT STATUS In normal operation, the .Nm daemon will not return. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr hkpc 1 , .Xr netpgpkeys 1 , .Xr ssh 1 , .Xr libmj 3 .Xr libnetpgp 3 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm command first appeared in .Nx 6.0 . .Sh AUTHORS .An Alistair Crooks Aq Mt agc@NetBSD.org .
