man cmkkey (Commandes) - create secondary copy of CFS directory key

NAME

cmkkey - create secondary copy of CFS directory key

SYNOPSIS

cmkkey olddir newdir

DESCRIPTION

cmkkey creates a secondary copy of the key for an encrypted Cryptographic File System (CFS) directory. The secondary key is initially the same as the original key, but can be changed with the cpasswd command.

Only CFS 1.4 or later directories (and not created with cmkdir -o) can have secondary key files.

FILES

newdir/..k
New secondary encyrpted key file.
newdir/..data
Link to encrypted directory olddir.

SEE ALSO

cfsd(8), cattach(1), cmkdir(1), cpasswd(1)

BUGS

Any symbolic links in olddir are resolved at the time cmkkey is run; this could cause newdir/..data to break if one of these links moves. (This can be fixed by re-linking to the correct place by hand).
