NAME
       logind - login daemon

SYNOPSIS
       auth/logind

DESCRIPTION
       Logind  is normally started by svc(8) to service requests on the inflo‐
       gin TCP/IP port, to provide a `signing' service	(identity  authentica‐
       tion)  for  a  network.	 Ultimately, the client receives a certificate
       that can be used to establish its identity with any host that is	 will‐
       ing to honour certificates from the certificate's signer.

       The signer constructs the certificate from the contents of the signer's
       key file /keydb/signerkey, typically created by createsignerkey(8), and
       the  ID	string	and password supplied by the client (which are used to
       access keyfs(4) to check identity).

       The protocol involves an exchange of information between the client and
       server,	as  summarised	in login(6).  The client side of this exchange
       can be managed by the Login module; see security-login(2).

       Client and server communicate  over  the	 Secure	 Socket	 Layer	device
       ssl(3).
