NAME
     publickey - public key database

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/publickey

DESCRIPTION
     /etc/publickey is the public key database  used  for  secure
     RPC.   Each entry in the database consists of a network user
     name (which may either refer to a user or a hostname),  fol-
     lowed  by  the user's public key (in hex notation), a colon,
     and then the user's secret key  encrypted  with  a  password
     (also  in hex notation).  This file is altered either by the
     user through the chkey(1) command or by the system  adminis-
     trator through the newkey(1) command.
