newkey(1M)                       DG/UX 5.4.2                      newkey(1M)


NAME
       newkey - create a new key in the publickey database

SYNOPSIS
       newkey [ -h hostname ] [ -u username ]

DESCRIPTION
       NOTE:  Secure RPC using DES Authentication is an additional feature
       that must be purchased separately from the DG/UX (Trademark) ONC
       (Trademark)/NFS® package.  You must have this feature to use the
       command described in this manual page.

       newkey is normally run by the network administrator on the NIS master
       machine in order to establish public keys for users and super-users
       on the network. These keys are needed for using secure RPC or secure
       NFS.

       newkey will prompt for the login password of the given username and
       then create a new public/secret key pair in /etc/publickey encrypted
       with the login password of the given user.

       Use of this program is not required: users may create their own keys
       using chkey(1).

OPTIONS
       -u     username Create a new public key for the given username.
              Prompts for the Network Information Service (NIS) password of
              the given username.

       -h     hostname Create a new public key for the super-user at the
              given hostname. Prompts for the root password of the given
              hostname.
