NAME
shad, termdata– Single sign on for Plan B terminals

SYNOPSIS
shad [ –DdknpuS ] [ –a asaddr ] [ –s srvname ] [ –m mtpt ]

termdata [ –o uname ] [ –w file ] [ –r file ]

DESCRIPTION
Shad is the Plan B replacement for factotum(4). It provides the same services provided by factotum as well as support for single sign on into the Plan B environment. It runs a network protocol to exchange keys and avoid the need for extra keys when a user terminal is already running.

Termdata is the program used to generate and read the per–terminal keys kept at NVRAM within each terminal. This is necessary to provide a secure exchange of keys among user terminals.

EXAMPLES
To create your terminal key:
; ramfs && cd /tmp
; a:
; termdata –o $user > k
; termdata –w k /n/a/plan9.nvr

A tuple to be kept at secstore for that machine would be:
key proto=shad type=term machine=isis !tsecret=754...E7    askforpermission=no forrent=no
