NAME

SYNOPSIS

10       signd [-f]
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       signd  is a little daemon that listens for sign requests from sign, and
15       either calls gpg to do the signing or forwards the request  to  another
16       signd. The -f option makes signd fork on startup.
17
18       signd  uses  the  same configuration used for sign, /etc/sign.conf.  It
19       needs a gpg  implementation  that  understands  the  "--file-is-digest"
20       option to work correctly.

SECURITY

24       Unless   the   allow-unprivileged-ports   option  is  set  to  true  in
25       /etc/sign.conf, signd allows only connections from reserved  ports  and
26       the  ip  addresses,  subnets  expressed in CIDR notation, and hostnames
27       listed in the "allow" field of the configuration.
