NAME

       mungekey - MUNGE key management utility

SYNOPSIS

       mungekey [-c] [-b bits] [-f] [-k keyfile] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       The  mungekey executable is the key management utility for MUNGE.  It should be run by the same user that
       starts the munged daemon.

       If no options are specified, mungekey will attempt to create a new key using the default  settings;  this
       will fail if the keyfile already exists.

       All  munged  daemons  within a security realm must use the same key.  In other words, all hosts within an
       administrative group (or cluster) using MUNGE for authentication must use the same key; this keyfile  can
       be created on one host and then securely copied to all other hosts.

OPTIONS

       -b, --bits integer
              Specify the number of bits in the key being created [256-8192].

       -c, --create
              Create a new keyfile.

       -f, --force
              Force the keyfile to be overwritten if it already exists.

       -h, --help
              Display a summary of the command-line options.

       -k, --keyfile path
              Specify the keyfile pathname.

       -L, --license
              Display license information.

       -v, --verbose
              Be verbose.

       -V, --version
              Display version information.
