12 Silcd is a server for SILC, Secure Internet Live Conferencing network.
16 bf(-f) em(FILE) Read configuration from em(FILE).
18 bf(-d) Enable debugging (Implies -F).
20 bf(-D) em(LEVEL) Enable debug messages of level em(LEVEL) and lower (Implies -F).
22 bf(-x) Enable hexdumps (Implies -d).
24 bf(-F) Don't fork. Run silcd on foreground.
26 bf(-h) Display help message.
28 bf(-V) Display version.
30 bf(-C) Create new public key pair. See bf(KEY GENERATION) for options.

33 bf(--config-file)=em(FILE) Same as bf(-f).
35 bf(--debug)=em(STRING) Same as bf(-d), limit to messages *em(STRING)*.

48 manpagesection(KEY GENERATION)
49 When generating new key pair for silcd (bf(-C)), the following extra switches
52 bf(--pkcs)=em(PKCS) Set the public key algorithm of public key pair. For example bf(rsa).
54 bf(--bits)=em(VALUE) Set the length of public key pair, in bits.
56 bf(--identifier)=em(ID) Set em(ID) as public key identifier.
58 The identifier has the format of:
60 UN=<username>, HN=<hostname or IP>, RN=<real name>, E=<email>,
61 O=<organization>, C=<country>
63 Both UN and HN are mandatory, all the rest are optional but recommended.
64 If no bf(--identifier) is used, an identifier will be created automatically.
68 bf(silcd -C --identifier)="UN=foobar, HN=foo.bar.com, RN=Foo T. Bar,
73 There are two configuration files for silcd:
74 em(/etc/silc/silcd.conf) for server configuration and
75 em(/etc/silc/silcalgs.conf) for SIM (SILC Modules) configuration.
76 Do note that silcalgs.conf is only needed if cryptographic algorithms are
77 built as separate modules.
