SADOOR.KEY(5)

NAME
sadoor.key - sadoor(8) private key file.

DESCRIPTION
The sadoor.key file contains the 448 bit Blowfish key used by the client for symmetric encryption of the data/command sent in any command packet. Sadoor will refuse to run if the key is not 448 bits.

The default location is /etc/sadoor/sadoor.key, but it can be changed in sadoor.conf(5).

To generate a new key file you are advised to use any of the random devices (preferable /dev/srandom on OpenBSD and /dev/random on Linux), like:
    dd if=/dev/srandom of=/etc/sadoor/sadoor.key bs=56 count=1

    If you don't have any random device (Solaris), I guess that you have to come up with something "random" from the top of your head.
