22 The B<bos removekey> command removes each specified encryption key from
23 the F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file on the machine named by the B<-server>
24 argument. Use the B<-kvno> argument to identify each key by its key
25 version number; use the B<bos listkeys> command to display the key version
30 Before removing a obsolete key, verify that the cell's maximum ticket
31 lifetime has passed since the current key was defined using the B<kas
32 setpassword> and B<bos addkey> commands. This ensures that no clients
33 still possess tickets encrypted with the obsolete key.
39 =item B<-server> <I<machine name>>
41 Indicates the server machine on which to change the
42 F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. Identify the machine by IP address or its
43 host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For
44 details, see L<bos(8)>.
46 In cells that use the Update Server to distribute the contents of the
47 F</usr/afs/etc> directory, it is conventional to specify only the system
48 control machine as a value for the B<-server> argument. Otherwise, repeat
49 the command for each file server machine. For further discussion, see
52 =item B<-kvno> <I<key version number>>+
54 Specifies the key version number of each key to remove.
56 =item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
58 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
59 with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<bos(8)>.
63 Assigns the unprivileged identity C<anonymous> to the issuer. Do not
64 combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see
69 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
70 F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<bos> command interpreter presents the
71 ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this
72 flag with the B<-cell> or B<-noauth> options. For more details, see
77 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
84 The following command removes the keys with key version numbers 5 and 6
85 from the F<KeyFile> file on the system control machine C<fs1.abc.com>.
87 % bos removekey -server fs1.abc.com -kvno 5 6
89 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
91 The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
92 machine named by the B<-server> argument, or must be logged onto a server
93 machine as the local superuser C<root> if the B<-localauth> flag is
