SYNOPSIS
#include
<rpc/rpc.h>
#include <rpc/key_prot.h>
int
getpublickey(char
netname[MAXNETNAMELEN+1], char
publickey[HEXKEYBYTES+1]);
int
getsecretkey(char
netname[MAXNETNAMELEN+1], char
secretkey[HEXKEYBYTES+1], char *passwd);
DESCRIPTION
These routines are used to get public and secret keys from the YP database.getsecretkey()
has an extra argument, passwd, which is used to decrypt
the encrypted secret key stored in the database. Both routines return 1 if
they are successful in finding the key, 0 otherwise. The keys are returned as
NULL-terminated, hexadecimal strings. If the password
supplied to getsecretkey() fails to decrypt the secret
key, the routine will return 1 but the secretkey
argument will be a NULL string (“”).
