PKCSSLOTD(8)			  openCryptoki			    PKCSSLOTD(8)

NAME
     pkcsslotd - shared memory manager for opencryptoki

DESCRIPTION
     The pkcsslotd daemon manages PKCS#11 objects between PKCS#11-enabled appli-
     cations.  When 2 or more processes are accessing the same cryptographic to-
     ken, the daemon is notified and updates each application when  the  token's
     objects change.

NOTES
     Only  one	instance  of the pkcsslotd daemon should be running on any given
     host. If a prior instance of pkcsslotd did not shut down cleanly,	then  it
     may  leave  an allocated shared memory segment on the system. The allocated
     memory segment can be identified by its key and can be safely removed  once
     the daemon is stopped with the ipcrm command, such as:

     ipcrm -M 0x6202AB38

     The  daemon  creates  the shared memory segment with group ownership by the
     pkcs11 group. All non-root users that should be able  to  use  openCryptoki
     need  to  be members of the group. Only trusted users should be assigned to
     the group, see the "SECURITY NOTE" in the opencryptoki(7) manual  page  for
     details.
