   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.

   SEE ALSO
         chkey(1), newkey(1), publickey(3N).
