NAME
      newkey - create a new key in the publickey database

SYNOPSIS
      newkey -h hostname

      newkey -u username

DESCRIPTION
      The newkey command is normally run by the RPC administrator on the
      machine that contains the publickey(4) database, to establish public keys
      for users and privileged users on the network.  These keys are needed
      when using secure RPC or secure NFS.

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

      The following options are available:

      -h hostname   Create a new public/secret key pair for the privileged user
                    at the given hostname.  Prompts for a password for the
                    given hostname.

      -u username   Create a new public/secret key pair for the given username.
                    Prompts for a password for the given username.
