NAME
       "razor-admin" - Razor Registering Agent

SYNOPSIS
           razor-admin [options]  [ -register | -create | -discover ]

DESCRIPTION
       "razor-admin" is the Razor Agent that performs administrative
       functions, most notably registering (-register)

USAGE
       "razor-admin" must have one of the following arguments:

       "-register"
           Registers a new identity, used for authenticating with Razor
           Nomination Servers.  Identities are a user + password pair stored
           in "<razorhome>/identity-<user>".  The first time "razor-admin
           -register" exits successfully, a symlink "identity" is created to
           point to the active "identity-<user>" file. After that, new
           identities can be created, but in order to use them the symlink
           "identity" must be changed to point to them. In general, it should
           be called once from the command line. Exits 0 for success, exits 1
           on failure with a human-readable output message.

           Both razor-report(1) and razor-revoke(1) require user
           authentication to work, razor-check(1) does not. This allows the
           Razor Nomination Server to keep track of how many messages a user
           reports and revokes. The more messages a user correctly reports
           and/or correctly revokes, the more trust the user earns. Likewise,
           when messages are incorrectly reported or revoked, the trust goes
           down for that user. Highly trusted users will have the most affect
           on the Razor database.

       "-discover"
           Force discovery.  This will create "server.*.lst" files in
           <razorhome>.

       "-create"
           Explicitly creates "razor-agent.conf" file in <razorhome>, as well
           as <razorhome> if it does not exist.  Normally loads
           "/usr/local/etc/razor-agent.conf" if it exists, using defaults for
           anything not found.  Does not attempt to register with server, but
           will do discovery, see "-discover".

OPTIONS
       "razor-admin" takes following optional arguments:

       "-h"
           Print a usage message and exit.

       "-v"
           Print the version number and exit.

       "-d | --verbose"
           Print debugging information.

       "-debuglevel=n | -dl=n"
           Set debug level to 'n'.  Default is 3 without "-d" option, 9 with.

       "-s"
           Simulate a check. Do everything except talk to the server.

       "-conf=filename"
           Specifies an alternate configuration file.  If not specified, it is
           computed, see razor-agents(1) manpage for details.  See
           razor-agent.conf(5) manpage for various configuration options.  The
           default is "<razorhome>/razor-agent.conf".

       "-home=directory"
           Specify razorhome directory.  This is where the configuration file,
           logfiles, identities, and server files live.  If not specified, it
           is computed, see razor-agents(1) manpage for details.

       "-logfile=file"
           Specify file to log to instead of what is in the configuration
           file.  The default is "<razorhome>/razor-agent.log".

       "-ident=filename"
           Specify an identify file to use for storing a newly registered
           identity.  If not specified, "<razorhome>/identity-<user>" is used.

       "-rs=razor.server.com"
           Use this Razor Nomination Server instead of reading
           "servers.nomination.lst".

       "-user=user@domain.com"
           Request to be known as this username. Must be less than 64 chars
           and may contain A-Z, a-z, 0-9, as well printable chars [ex: - _ @ .
           + / ]. If not specified, a username will be assigned. Razor users
           are encouraged to use their email addresses as their username.

       "-pass=password"
           Request this password.  Valid chars are the same as for -user.  If
           not specified, it will be assigned.

       "-l"
           The identity created during this "razor-admin" becomes the default.
           Normally, the first identity file created by "razor-admin" is the
           default one used.

EXAMPLES
       razor-admin -d -create
           With no global razorhome defined (default) in
           /usr/local/etc/razor-agents.conf, creates .razor directory in
           user's home directory.

           With global razorhome defined in /usr/local/etc/razor-agents.conf,
           will try to use that one, will fail if it does not have correct
           permissions.

       razor-admin -register
           Registers a new identity, storing it in <lt>razorhome<gt>.  User
           and pass will be server generated.  An identity is required for
           razor-report(1) and razor-revoke(1).

       razor-admin -register -user me@a.com
           Attempts to register a new identity using the user name
           'me\@a.com'.  Will fail if user is already taken.

       razor-admin -d -create -home=/home/me/.razor
           Creates .razor directory in user's home directory, which will then
           be the default home unless specified from cmd-line.  Sends
           debugging information to stdout, and does not talk to any Razor
           Servers.

       razor-admin -d -create -home=/usr/local/etc
           Creates global razorhome, /usr/local/etc.  This is the magic
           directory that will be consulted if no razorhome is specified on
           the cmd-line or found in user's home directory.
