If .Ar type is .Li pgp , it will always prompt you for a passphrase to unlock your private pgp key, even if you don't use a passphrase (which is a bad idea, anyway). If .Ar type is .Li sha1 , you must supply an .Ar id , which will be recorded as the name of the package, and printed as the SHA1 checksum. .Pp .Nm pkg_check checks that cryptographic signature. It currently disregards .Ar type and checks only the topmost signature. For sha1, it checksums the file and verifies that the result matches the list of checksums recorded in .Pa /var/db/pkg/SHA1 . .Pp Options .Fl s and .Fl c can be used to force package signing or signature checking mode. .Pp For pgp, the .Ar id to use to sign the package or verify the signature can be forced with .Fl u . .Pp If .Ar file is a single dash .Pq Sq \&- or absent, .Nm check_sign reads from the standard input. .Pp Package signing uses a feature of the gzip format, namely that one can set a flag .Dv EXTRA_FIELD in the gzip header and store extra data between the gzip header and the compressed file proper. The .Ox signing scheme uses eight bytes markers such `SIGPGP' \+ length or `CKSHA1' \+ length for its signatures (those markers are conveniently eight bytes long). .Sh RESULTS .Nm pkg_sign and .Nm pkg_check return with an exit code > 0 if anything went wrong for any .Ar file . For .Nm pkg_check , this usually indicates that the package is not signed, or that the signature is forged. .Sh DIAGNOSTICS .Bl -diag .It "File %s is already signed" There is a signature embedded within the gzip file already. .Nm pkg_sign currently does not handle multiple signatures. .It "File %s is not a signed gzip file" This is an unsigned package. .It "File %s is not a gzip file" The program couldn't find a proper gzip header. .It "File %s contains an unknown extension" The extended area of the gzip file has been used for an unknown purpose. .It "File %s uses old signatures, no longer supported" The gzip file uses a very early version of package signing that was substantially slower. .El .Sh BUGS .Xr pgp 1 is an ill-designed program, which is hard to interface with. For instance, the `separate signing scheme' it pretends to offer is useless, as it can't be used with pipes, so that .Nm pgp_sign needs to kludge it by knowing the length of a pgp signature, and invoking pgp in `seamless' signature mode, without compression of the main file, and just retrieving the signature. .Pp The checking scheme is little less convoluted, namely we rebuild the file that pgp expects on the fly. .Pp Paths to .Nm pgp and the checksum file are hard-coded to avoid tampering and hinder flexibility. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width "/usr/local/bin/pgp" -compact .It Pa file.sign Temporary file built by .Nm pkg_sign from .Ar file . .It Pa /usr/local/bin/pgp Default path to .Xr pgp 1 . .It Pa /var/db/pkgs/SHA1 Recorded checksums. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr gzip 1 , .Xr pgp 1 , .Xr pkg_add 1 , .Xr sha1 1
