NAME
publickey - public key database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/publickey
DESCRIPTION
/etc/publickey is the public key database used for secure RPC. 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 a 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(1) command.
