To set up a new key for an NIS+ user:

1. Add the user to the cred table on the root master server by typing the following command:

   # nisaddcred -p unix.UID@domainname -P username.domainname. des

   Note that, in this case, the username-domainname must end with a dot (.)

2. Verify the setup by logging in as the client and typing the keylogin command.
