Administering Remote Procedure Calls (RPC)

The public key database file

The RPC domain master server controls the Secure RPC information which is kept in the database file /etc/publickey. For each Secure RPC user known to a master server, this file contains:

The RPC built-in security protocol requires access to the public/secret key pairs stored in this file. The triple (operating system, user ID, RPC domain name) indexes a unique pair of keys.


NOTE: The user ID field in /etc/publickey may also be a host name. This allows more than one root user per domain.

See ``Adding RPC users'' for a description of how to administer this file.
