NAME
create-munge-key - Create munge key SYNOPSIS
create-munge-key [OPTION]... DESCRIPTION
The create-munge-key script creates a cryptographic key for munge(8) authentication service OPTIONS
-h Display a summary of the command-line options. -r specify /dev/random as random file for key generation default is /dev/urandom which provide a worst entropy -f Force overwriting existing old key EXIT STATUS
The create-munge-key returns a zero exit code when the key is successfully created. On error, it prints an error message to stderr and returns a non-zero exit code. AUTHOR

NAME
munge - MUNGE credential encoder SYNOPSIS
munge [OPTION]... DESCRIPTION
The munge program creates an MUNGE credential containing the UID and GID of the calling process. Additional payload data can be encapsu- lated in as well. The returned credential can be passed to another process which can validate its contents (e.g., via the unmunge pro- gram). This allows an unrelated and potentially remote process to ascertain the identity of the calling process. By default, payload input is read from stdin and the credential is written to stdout. OPTIONS
-h, --help Display a summary of the command-line options. -L, --license Display license information. -V, --version Display version information. -n, --no-input Discard all input for the payload. -s, --string string Input payload from the specified string. -i, --input file Input payload from the specified file. -o, --output file Output the credential to the specified file. -c, --cipher string Specify the cipher type, either by name or number. -C, --list-ciphers Display a list of supported cipher types. -m, --mac string Specify the MAC type, either by name or number. -M, --list-macs Display a list of supported MAC types. -z, --zip string Specify the compression type, either by name or number. -Z, --list-zips Display a list of supported compression types. -u, --restrict-uid uid Specify the user name or UID allowed to decode the credential. This will be matched against the effective user ID of the process requesting the credential decode. -g, --restrict-gid gid Specify the group name or GID allowed to decode the credential. This will be matched against the effective group ID of the process requesting the credential decode, as well as each supplementary group of which the effective user ID of that process is a member. -t, --ttl integer Specify the time-to-live (in seconds). This controls how long the credential is valid once it has been encoded. A value of 0 selects the default TTL. A value of -1 selects the maximum allowed TTL. -S, --socket path Specify the local domain socket for connecting with munged. EXIT STATUS
The munge program returns a zero exit code when the credential is successfully created and returned. On error, it prints an error message to stderr and returns a non-zero exit code. AUTHOR
