There are two key databases -- keys and netkeys.
Keys is the usual database used by Plan 9, while netkeys
is typically a secondary database tracking people who
use hardware DES-based SecureNet authenticators like the ones from
Digital Pathways (now some other name, I'm sure),
You don't need netkeys if you're not using hardware boxes.
