.Sh DESCRIPTION
2002-07-14 14:47:15 +00:00
The
.Nm
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
2002-07-14 14:47:15 +00:00
secure network services such as secure
.Tn NFS .
.Pp
Normally, root's key is read from the file
.Pa /etc/.rootkey
when the daemon is started.
This is useful during power-fail reboots
2001-07-15 08:06:20 +00:00
when no one is around to type a password.
.Pp
2001-07-15 08:06:20 +00:00
If a client with no secret key calls
.Nm ,
2001-07-15 08:06:20 +00:00
then the key of user
.Em nobody
is used instead as the default key.
.Pp
The following options are available:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl d
Disable the use of default keys for
.Em nobody .
.It Fl D
2001-07-15 08:06:20 +00:00
Run in debugging mode and log all requests to
.Nm .
.It Fl n
Root's secret key is not read from
.Pa /etc/.rootkey .
Instead,
.Nm
prompts the user for the password to decrypt
root's key stored in the
.Pa /etc/publickey
database and then stores the decrypted key in
.Pa /etc/.rootkey
for future use.
This option is useful if the
.Pa /etc/.rootkey
file ever gets out of date or corrupted.
.It Fl p Ar path
Specify where to search for
.Pa libdes.so.3 .
Default is
.Pa /usr/lib .
.It Fl v
Display status of DES support (enabled/disabled).
