These keys are needed for using secure RPC or secure NFS . The newkey utility will prompt for the login password of the given username 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-h hostname Create a new public key for the super-user at the given hostname. Prompts for the root password of the given hostname. -u username Create a new public key for the given username. Prompts for the NIS password of the given username.SEE ALSOchkey(1), keylogin(1), publickey(5), keyserv(8)NOTESThe Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP).
