NAME

tcaboot - Trusted Collective (TC) authority initialization utility

SYNOPSIS

tcaboot multicast_group_number_for_TC_bulletins multicast_group_number_for_TC_records number_of_authorities_in_collective K R [ delay ]

DESCRIPTION

tcaboot writes a TC authority administration command file that initializes a TC authority database. The file, named "boot.tcarc", is written to the current working directory. It simply contains two authority configuration commands that initialize the TC authority database for the TC application and then set the initial bulletin compilation time for this authority to the current ctime plus delay seconds. If omitted, delay defaults to 5. The other command-line arguments for tcaboot are discussed in the descriptions of application initialization commands for tcaadmin; see the tcarc(5) manual page for details.
