newkey(1M)                                                newkey(1M)


       NAME
             newkey - create a new key in the publickey database

       SYNOPSIS
             newkey -h hostname
             newkey -u username

       DESCRIPTION
             The newkey command establishes public keys for users and
             privileged users on the network.  These keys are needed when
             using secure RPC or secure NFS.

       USAGE
             newkey is normally run by the RPC administrator on the machine
             that contains the publickey(4) database.

             First, newkey prompts for a password for the given username or
             hostname.  Then, it creates a new public/secret key pair for
             the user or host in /etc/publickey, encrypted with the given
             password.

          Options
             newkey takes the following options:

             -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.
