NEWKEY(1M)          RISC/os Reference Manual           NEWKEY(1M)



NAME
     newkey - create a new key in the publickey database

SYNOPSIS
     newkey [ -h hostname ] [ -u username ]

DESCRIPTION
     newkey is normally run by the network administrator on the
     NIS master machine in order to establish public keys for
     users and super-users on the network. These keys are needed
     for using secure RPC or secure NFS.

     newkey will prompt for the login password of the given user-
     name and then create a new public/secret key pair in
     /etc/publickey encrypted with the login password of the
     given user.

     Use of this program is not required: users may create their
     own keys using chkey(1).

OPTIONS
     -uusername
               Create a new public key for the given username.
               Prompts for the Network Information Service pass-
               word of the given username.

     -hhostname
               Create a new public key for the super-user at the
               given hostname. Prompts for the root password of
               the given hostname.
