NAME
publickey — public key database
DESCRIPTION
/etc/publickey
is a local public key database that is used for secure
RPC.
The
/etc/publickey
file can be used in conjunction with or instead of other
publickey databases, including the NIS publickey map, or
user/host
entries in the LDAP directory.
Each entry in the database consists of a network user
name (which may refer to either
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).
The
/etc/publickey
file contains a default entry for
nobody.
