NAME
       keyserv - server for storing private encryption keys

SYNOPSIS
       [ ] [ ] [ ]

DESCRIPTION
       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 services such as secure NFS.

       Normally,  root's key is read from the file when the daemon is started.
       This is useful during power-fail reboots when no one is around to  type
       a password.

       will  not start up if the system does not have a secure RPC domain con‐
       figured.	 The domain name can be set up by using the command.  Invoking
       the  command  without  arguments	 will  display	whether the user has a
       domain set up.

       The file contains the following default parameter settings.

	    Instead, prompts the user for the password to decrypt  root's  key
	    stored  in	the  database and then stores the decrypted key in for
	    future use.

	    This option is useful if the file ever gets	 out-of-date  or  cor‐
	    rupted.
