+.TH KEYSERV 8C "9 September 1987"
+.SH NAME
+keyserv \- server for storing public and private keys
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B keyserv
+[
+.B \-n
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX "keyenvoy server" "" "\fLkeyenvoy\fP server"
+.B keyserv
+is a daemon that is used for storing the
+private encryption keys of each
+user logged into the system. These encryption
+keys are using for accessing
+secure network services such as secure
+.SM NFS\s0.
+When a user logs in to the system, the
+.BR login(1)
+program uses the login password to decrypt
+the user's encryption key stored
+in the Yellow Pages, and then gives the decrypted key to the
+.B keyserv
+daemon to store away.
+.LP
+Normally, root's key is read from the file
+.B /etc/.rootkey
+when the daemon starts up. This is useful during power-fail reboots
+when no one is around to type a password, yet you still want the
+secure network services to operate normally.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-n
+Do not read root's key from
+.BR /etc/.rootkey .
+Instead, prompt the user for the password to decrypt
+.B root 's
+key stored in the Yellow Pages and then store the decrypted key in
+.B /etc/.rootkey
+for future use.
+This option is useful if the
+.B /etc/.rootkey
+file ever gets out of date or corrupted.
