publickey - public key database
/etc/publickey
/etc/publickey is a local public key database that is used for secure
RPC. The /etc/publickey file can be used in conjunction with or instead
of other publickey databases, including the NIS publickey map and the NIS+
publickey map. Each entry in the database consists of a network user name
(which may refer to either 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 a password (also in hex notation).
The /etc/publickey file contains
a default entry for nobody.
