logind - login daemon

lib/logind

Description

Started by lib/srv (see srv - start server daemons in Chapter 6) to service request on the inflogin port and provide a identity authentication (that is, 'signer') service. Ultimately the client receives authentication information (a certificate) that can be used to establish identity with other hosts who are willing to honor certificates from this signer.

The signer constructs the certificate from:

Files
/keydb

/keydb/signerkey

/keydb/password
