NAME
publickey - public key database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/publickey
DESCRIPTION
/etc/publickey is the public key database used for secure RPC (Remote
Procedure Calls). Each entry in the database consists of a network user
name (which may either refer to a user or a hostname), followed by the
user's public key (in hex notation), a colon, and then the user's secret
key encrypted with its login password (also in hex notation).
This file is altered either by the user through the chkey(1) command or
by the system administrator through the newkey(8) command. The file
/etc/publickey should only contain data on the NIS master machine, where
it is converted into the NIS database publickey.byname.
