37         <para><command>smbta-util</command> is a tool to ease the

40         <para>The user can generate a key, install a key (activating
41         encryption), or uninstall a key (deactivating encryption).
42         Any operation that installs a key will create a File containing
43         the key. This file can be used by smbta-tool on other machines
44         to install the same key from the file.</para>
