= MFPL Shared Keyring =

[wiki:support-team Support Team Home]

MFPL uses an OpenPGP encrypted file, that is shared via git, to store root and encrypted disk passphrases.

To help us securely read and create new keys, we use a program called [http://git.sarava.org/?p=keyringer.git;a=summary keyringer].

Members of the support team can access the keys by following these steps:

 * Checkout the keyringer software:
{{{
git clone git://git.sarava.org/keyringer.git
}}}
 * Add the path to your bash $PATH variable by editing ~/.bashrc and adding:
{{{
   export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/keyringer"
}}}
 * Initialize the MFPL keyringer. Replace "/path/to/keys" with the path where you want to checkout the MFPL keyring in your filesystem
{{{
keyringer mfpl init /path/to/keys gitosis@git.mayfirst.org:mfpl/keys
}}}
 * Use the bash wrapper script in the MFPL key ringer directory to search for keys. For example, to find the passphrase for assata:
{{{
./pass assata 
}}}
