chkey − change user encryption key

SYNOPSIS

chkey [−f]

DESCRIPTION

The chkey command prompts for a password and uses it to encrypt a new user encryption key.  The encrypted key is stored in the publickey(4) database. 

The -f option is used to force an encryption key entry into the database for a user who doesn’t already have an entry. 

This command should be executed only on the master server for the ­publickey(4) database.
