keylogin(1) — USER COMMANDS
NAME
keylogin, keylogout − decrypt and store, or unstore, secret key
SYNOPSIS
keylogin
keylogout
DESCRIPTION
The keylogin command prompts for a password, and uses it to decrypt the user’s secret key stored in the publickey(4) database. Once decrypted, the user’s key is stored by the local key server process, keyserv(1M), to be used by any secure network service, such as NFS.
The keylogout command removes the user’s secret key from the local key server process, keyserv(1M), so that it can no longer be used by any secure network service, such as NFS. The keylogout command does not affect the publickey(4) database.
