## Description

The bbstored-config script creates configuration files and server certificates for a bbstored instance. It takes three parameters:

configdir

- The directory where config files will reside. A `bbstored` subdirectory will be created where several config files will reside. The `bbstored.conf` file will be created in `configdir`.

servername

- The name of the server that is being configured. Usually the fully qualified domain name of the machine in question.

username

- The name of the user that should be running the `bbstored` process. Recommended name: _bbstored.

A valid

raidfile.conf

5 must be found in configdir. Several steps are taken during the run of `bbstored-config`:

- Server certificates are created. This requires interaction from the operator.

- The RAID volumes are checked to ensure that the configuration is consistent and will work.

- Instructions for next steps to take are shown. These steps may be different for different OS platforms, so pay close attention to these instructions.
