2.1 Configuration files

Become keeps its configuration and administrative files in a directory usually named `/etc/become', although this can be changed with the --with-etcdir option to the configuration script when you build Become.

Not all of the files are needed on all machines.

`become.conf'

The main configuration file, containing a description of which users are allowed to become which other users, where, and what they're allowed to run when they get there. Only needed on servers or standalone machines.

`become.server'

A list of servers to contact. Only needed on client machines.

`become.key'

The signing key to use when sending requests to servers. Needed on servers, but not on standalone machines.

`become.pubkey'

The verification keys to use when checking server responses. Needed on clients, but not on standalone machines.

`become.pid'

The process id of the server. Created automatically by Become's server when in starts up.
