System Administration Commands keyserv(1M)
NAME
keyserv - server for storing private encryption keys
SYNOPSIS
keyserv [-c] [-d | -e] [-D] [-n] [-s sizespec]
DESCRIPTION
keyserv 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 ser-
vices such as secure NFS and NIS+.
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.
keyserv does not start up if the system does not have a
secure rpc domain configured. Set up the domain name by
using the /usr/bin/domainname command. Usually the
svc:/system/identity:domain service reads the domain from
/etc/defaultdomain. Invoking the domainname command without
arguments tells you if you have a domain set up.
The /etc/default/keyserv file contains the following default
parameter settings. See FILES.
ENABLE_NOBODY_KEYS Specifies whether default
keys for nobody are used.
ENABLE_NOBODY_KEYS=NO is
equivalent to the -d
command-line option. The
default value for
ENABLE_NOBODY_KEYS is YES.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-c Do not use disk caches. This option over-
rides any -s option.
-D Run in debugging mode and log all requests
to keyserv.
-d Disable the use of default keys for nobody.
See FILES.

System Administration Commands keyserv(1M)
-e Enable the use of default keys for nobody.
This is the default behavior. See FILES.
-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 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/etc/.rootkey file ever gets out of date or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.
-s sizespec Specify the size of the extended Diffie-
Hellman common key disk caches. The sizespec
can be one of the following forms:
mechtype=size size is an integer specify-
ing the maximum number of
entries in the cache, or an
integer immediately followed
by the letter M, denoting
the maximum size in MB.
size This form of sizespec
applies to all caches.
See nisauthconf(1M) for mechanism types.
Note that the des mechanism, AUTH_DES, does
not use a disk cache.
FILES
/etc/.rootkey
/etc/default/keyserv Contains default settings. You can
use command-line options to override
these settings.

NOTES
NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the
Solaris operating system. Tools to aid the migration from
NIS+ to LDAP are available in the current Solaris release.
For more information, visit
http://www.sun.com/directory/nisplus/transition.html.
The keyserv service is managed by the service management
facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:
svc:/network/rpc/keyserv:default
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling,
disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using
svcadm(1M). The service's status can be queried using the
svcs(1) command.
