+.TH PASSWD 1
+.SH NAME
+passwd, netkey \- change user password
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B passwd
+[
+.I username\fR[@\fPdomain\fR]\fP
+]
+.PP
+.B netkey
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Passwd
+changes the invoker's Plan 9 password and/or APOP secret.
+The Plan 9 password is used to login to a terminal while
+the APOP secret is used for a number of external services:
+POP3, IMAP, and VPN access. The optional argument specifies
+the user name and authentication domain to use if different
+than the one associated with the machine
+.I passwd
+is run on.
+.PP
+The program first prompts for the old Plan 9 password in the specified
+domain to establish
+identity.
+It then prompts for changes to the password and the
+secret.
+New passwords and secrets must be typed twice, to forestall mistakes.
+New passwords must be sufficiently hard to guess.
+They may be of any length greater than seven characters.
+.PP
+.I Netkey
+prompts for a password to encrypt network challenges.
+It is a substitute for a SecureNet box.

+.TH SSH-AGENT 1
+.SH NAME
+ssh-agent \- SSH authentication agent
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ssh-agent
+[
+.B -l
+]
+.I factotum-service
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Ssh-agent
+presents
+.IR factotum (4)
+using the interface that
+.IR ssh (1)
+requires.
+.PP
+Once
+.I ssh-agent
+and
+.I factotum
+are running, the standard Unix SSH client
+can use
+.I ssh-agent
+(and, indirectly,
+.IR factotum )
+to authenticate to remote systems using RSA or DSA keys.
+.PP
+.I Ssh
+accesses
+.I ssh-agent
+via a Unix socket posted in a private subdirectory of
+.B /tmp .
+.I Ssh
+expects this socket to be in the environment as
+.BR $SSH_AGENT_SOCK ,
+and expects the agent to be running with process id
+.BR $SSH_AGENT_PID .
+.I Ssh-agent
+prints shell commands to set these two variables
+before forking itself into the background.
+It is typically invoked inside a shell
+.B eval
+construct; see the examples below.
+The
+.B -e
+option causes
+.I ssh-agent
+to include
+.B export
+commands to put the variables into the environment of future programs.
+.PP
+If the
+.B -l
+option is given,
+.I ssh-agent
+lists the usable
+.I factotum
+keys in the standard SSH format, suitable for creating an
+.B authorized_keys
+file.
+.PP
+.I Ssh-agent
+connects to
+.I factotum
+by accessing
+.I factotum-service
+(default
+.RB ` factotum ')
+in the current name space.
+.PP
+There is a Unix program called
+.I ssh-agent
+that manages SSH keys itself.
+Invoke this one with
+.B 9
+.BR ssh-agent ;
+see
+.IR 9 (1).
+.SH EXAMPLES
+Assume
+.IR factotum (4)
+is already running and initialized with keys.
+.PP
+Start a new agent, copying the commands by hand:
+.IP
+.EX
+$ 9 ssh-agent -e
+SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-405795003d7ee27a/agent.4233;
+export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
+SSH_AGENT_PID=4233;
+export SSH_AGENT_PID;
+$ SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-405795003d7ee27a/agent.4233;
+$ export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
+$ SSH_AGENT_PID=4233;
+$ export SSH_AGENT_PID;
+$
+.EE
+.PP
+Start the agent from
+.IR sh (1):
+.IP
+.EX
+$ eval `9 ssh-agent -e`
+$
+.EE
+.PP
+Start the agent from
+.IR rc (1):
+.IP
+.EX
+% eval `{9 ssh-agent}
+%
+.EE
+.PP
+Use the agent to connect to a remote system:
+.IP
+.EX
+% ssh tux
+tux% ^D
+%
+.EE

+.IR ssh (1),
+.IR rsa (1),
+.IR factotum (4)
+.SH BUGS
+A surprise rather than a bug:
+.I ssh-agent
+connects to factotum on demand, so it can be
+started before
+.I factotum
+is running and need not be restarted just because
+.I factotum
+is.
