|
|
a user or a hostname), followed by the user's
|
|
public key (in hex
|
|
notation), a colon, and then the user's
|
|
secret key encrypted with
|
|
its login password (also in hex notation).

|
|

|
|
command.

|
|
.B /etc/publickey

|
|
is converted into the
|
|
.SM NIS
|
|
database
|
|
.BR publickey.byname .
