9 kdb_util \- Kerberos key distribution center database utility
15 allows the Kerberos key distribution center (KDC) database administrator to
16 perform utility functions on the database.
19 must be one of the following:
22 initializes the KDC database with the records described by the
23 text contained in the file
25 Any existing database is overwritten.
28 dumps the KDC database into a text representation in the file
32 performs a database dump like the
34 operation, and additionally creates a semaphore file signalling the
35 propagation software that an update is available for distribution to
39 merges in the entries from
44 prompts for the old and new master key strings, and then dumps the KDC
45 database into a text representation in the file
47 The keys in the text representation are encrypted in the new master key.
50 prompts for the master key string, and then dumps the KDC database into
51 a text representation in the file
53 The existing database is assumed to be encrypted using the old format
54 (encrypted by the key schedule of the master key); the dumped database
55 is encrypted using the new format (encrypted directly with master key).
59 "verify_master_key: Invalid master key, does not match database."
60 The master key string entered was incorrect.
