Deletes stored secret key.
keylogout [ -f ]
The keylogout command deletes the key stored by the key server process keyserv. Further access to the key is revoked; however, current session keys may remain valid until they expire or are refreshed.
Deleting the keys stored by keyserv will cause any background jobs or scheduled jobs that need secure RPC services to fail. Since only one copy of the key is kept on a machine, do not place a call to this command in your logout file since it will affect other sessions on the same machine.

| -f | Forces keylogout to delete the secret key for the superuser. By default, keylogout by the superuser is disallowed because it would break all RPC services, such as NFS, that are started by the superuser. |
