NAME

keyserv - server for storing private encryption keys

keyserv [-d] [-D] [-n] [-p path] [-v]

The keyserv utility is a daemon that is used for storing the
private encryption keys of each user logged into the system. These
encryption keys are used for accessing secure network services such as
secure NFS.
Normally, root's key is read from the file /etc/.rootkey
when the daemon is started. This is useful during power-fail reboots when
no one is around to type a password.
If a client with no secret key calls keyserv, then the key
of user nobody is used instead as the default key.
The following options are available:
-d Disable the use of default keys for nobody.
-D Run in debugging mode and log all requests to
keyserv.
-n Root's secret key is not read from /etc/.rootkey.
Instead,: keyserv prompts the user for the password to decrypt; root's key
stored in the /etc/publickey database and then; stores the
decrypted key in /etc/.rootkey for future use. This; option is
useful if the /etc/.rootkey file ever gets out of; date or corrupted.
-p path: Specify where to search for libdes.so.3. Default is; /usr/lib.
-v Display status of DES support (enabled/disabled).

/etc/.rootkey
/usr/lib/libdes.so.3
