@ -110,12 +110,24 @@ The passphrases
---------------
We will have to generate keys for ourselves, and get a key from everybody
we want to ConnectTo. All of these go into a directory named
/etc/tinc/passphrases. To generate our own key:
/etc/tinc/passphrases. PROTECT THIS DIRECTORY!
mkdir -m 700 /etc/tinc/passphrases
To generate our own key:
genauth 1024 >/etc/tinc/passphrases/local
You should then proceed to give this key to anyone who wants to ConnectTo
you.
you. DO THIS IN A SECURE MANNER! Anyone who has this number can do icky
things to the umbrella network! Encrypt it using PGP, GPG or another
program using asymetric keys. Read it over the phone (without anyone
listening of course). Send it by snailmail. Write the key down and bring
it to your partners yourself!
If you get any keys from your partners, store them under their network
number. For example, the key we get from fdiv's network administrator
will be stored in /etc/tinc/passphrases/192.168.2.0 (note the 0).
