When the editor exits, +.I ipso +prompts the user to confirm copying modifed or newly created files back to +.I secstore. +If no +.I file +is mentioned, +.I ipso +grabs all the user's files from +.I secstore +for editing. +.PP +By default, ipso will edit the +.I secstore +files and, if +one of them is named +.BR factotum , +flush your current keys from factotum and load +the new ones from the file. +If you supply any of the +.BR -e , +.BR -f , +or +.BR -l +options, +.I ipso +will just perform the operations you requested, i.e., +edit, flush, and/or load. +.PP +The +.B -s +option of +.I ipso +invokes +.IR sam (1) +as the editor insted of +.BR acme ; +the +.B -a +option provides a similar service for files encrypted by +.I aescbc +.RI ( q.v. ). +With the +.B -a +option, the full rooted pathname of the +.I file +must be specified and all +.I files +must be encrypted with the same key. +Also with +.BR -a , +newly created files are ignored. +.PP +.I Aescbc +encrypts and decrypts using AES (Rijndael) in cipher +block chaining (CBC) mode. +.SH SOURCE +.B /usr/local/plan9/src/cmd/secstore +.SH SEE ALSO +.IR factotum (4), +Plan 9's \fIsecstore\fR(8) +.SH BUGS +There is deliberately no backup of files on the secstore, so +.B -r +(or a disk crash) is irrevocable. You are advised to store +important secrets in a second location. +.PP +When using +.IR ipso , +secrets will appear as plain text in the editor window, +so use the command in private. |
