+The monkeysphere puppet module is designed to help you manage your servers
+and users using the monkeysphere[0].
+
+Example usage for server setup:
+
+ # Assuming you are using the sshd puppet module...
+ $sshd_authorized_keys_file = "/var/lib/monkeysphere/authorized_keys/%u"
+ include sshd
+
+ # Optionally, indicate your preferred keyserver. You can specify a server
+ # under your control and not accessible to the public or
+ # pool.sks-keyservers.net if you want to publish to the public pool. The
+ # value you specify here will be used for all monkeysphere and gpg commands
+ $monkeysphere_keyserver = "zimmermann.mayfirst.org"
+ include monkeysphere
+
+ # Ensure the server's ssh key is imported into your monkeysphere key ring
+ monkeysphere::import_key { "main": }
+
+ # Optionally publish the server key to a keyserver (as indicated above)
+ monkeysphere::publish_server_keys { "main": }
+
+ # Optionally email the server key to your self
+ monkeysphere::email_server_keys { "we@ourdomain.org": }
+
+ # Be sure to sign the server's key!
+
+ # Indiciate the fingerprint of the gpg key that should be used
+ # to verify user ids. You can repeat this for as many certifiers
+ # as you need
+ monkeysphere::add_id_certifier { "jamie":
+ keyid => "1CB57C59F2F42470238F53ABBB0B7EE15F2E4935"
+ }
+
+ # Indicate who should have root access on the server
+ monkeysphere::authorized_user_ids { "root":
+ user_ids => [ "sarah <sarah@ourgroup.org>" , "jose <josue@ourgroup.org" ]
+ }
+
+In addition, you may want to create a password-less key for a user to use
+when logging into another server (e.g. if you want automated backups from
+one server to another).
+
+Example usage for user setup:
+
+ # Ensure that the root user has authentication capable
+ # monkeysphere key
+ monkeysphere::auth_capable_user { "root": }
+
+ # Optionally publish the key
+ monkeysphere::publish_user_key { "root": }
+
+ # Grant full trust to a gpg key so the root user can properly
+ # authenticate servers to which it connects
+ # You can run this as many times as you want
+ monkeysphere::owner_trust { "jamie":
+ fingerprint => "0EE5BE979282D80B9F7540F1CCD2ED94D21739E9"
+ }
