Description
Creates and manages the system keychain, /Library/Keychains/System.keychain . ( systemkeychain also creates /var/db/SystemKey , which presumably contains a randomly generated keychain password in encrypted form.) This keychain is used by system processes that run as root , such as daemons and boot processes, and is created automatically by the SecurityServer startup item.
