Assigning a Time-Independent Key to a Chain
A time-independent key has no Accept or Send time constraints. It is valid
from boot-up until you change it. If you use a time-independent key, then it is
the only key needed for a key chain entry.
For example, to generate a new time-independent key for the Networking1
key chain entry:
