+.TH MONKEYSPHERE "1" "June 2008" "monkeysphere 0.1" "User Commands"
+
+.SH NAME
+
+monkeysphere \- MonkeySphere client user interface
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+.B monkeysphere \fIcommand\fP [\fIargs\fP]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+MonkeySphere is a system to leverage the OpenPGP Web of Trust for ssh
+authentication and encryption. OpenPGP keys are tracked via GnuPG,
+and added to the ssh authorized_keys and known_hosts files to be used
+for authentication of ssh connections.
+
+\fBmonkeysphere\fP is the MonkeySphere client utility.
+
+.SH SUBCOMMANDS
+
+\fBmonkeysphere\fP takes various subcommands:
+.TP
+.B update-known_hosts [HOST]...
+Update the known_hosts file. For each specified host, gpg will be
+queried for a key associated with the host URI (see HOST URIs),
+querying a keyserver if specified. If a key is found, it will be
+converted to an ssh key, and any matching ssh keys will be removed
+from the user's known_hosts file. If the found key is acceptable (see
+KEY ACCEPTABILITY), then the key will be updated and re-added to the
+known_hosts file. If no gpg key is found for the host, then nothing
+is done. If no hosts are specified, all hosts listed in the
+known_hosts file will be processed. `k' may be used in place of
+`update-known_hosts'.
+.TP
+.B update-authorized_keys
+Update the monkeysphere authorized_keys file. For each user ID in the
+user's authorized_user_ids file, gpg will be queried for keys
+associated with that user ID, querying a keyserver if specified. If a
+key is found, it will be converted to an ssh key, and any matching ssh
+keys will be removed from the user's authorized_keys file. If the
+found key is acceptable (see KEY ACCEPTABILITY), then the key will be
+updated and re-added to the authorized_keys file. If no gpg key is
+found for the user ID, then nothing is done. `a' may be used in place
+of `update-authorized_keys'.
+.TP
+.B gen-subkey KEYID
+Generate an `a` capable subkey. For the primary key with the
+specified key ID, generate a subkey with "authentication" capability
+that can be used for MonkeySphere transactions. `g' may be used in
+place of `gen-subkey'.
+.TP
+.B help
+Output a brief usage summary. `h' or `?' may be used in place of
+`help'.
+
+.SH HOST URIs
+
+Host OpenPGP keys have associated user IDs that use the ssh URI
+specification for the host, ie. "ssh://host.full.domain".
+
+.SH KEY ACCEPTABILITY
+
+GPG keys are considered acceptable if the following criteria are met:
+.TP
+.B capability
+The key must have the "authentication" ("a") usage flag set.
+.TP
+.B validity
+The key must be "fully" valid, and must not be expired or revoked.
+
+.SH FILES
+
+.TP
+~/.config/monkeysphere/monkeysphere.conf
+User monkeysphere config file.
+.TP
+/etc/monkeysphere/monkeysphere.conf
+System-wide monkeysphere config file.
+.TP
+~/.config/monkeysphere/authorized_user_ids
+OpenPGP user IDs associated with keys that will be checked for
+addition to the authorized_keys file.
