In this directory is the code for the utilities kadmin,
kadmin.local, kdb5_util, and ktutil.
ktutil is the Kerberos keytab file maintenance utility from
which a Kerberos administrator can read, write, or edit entries in a
Kerberos V5 keytab or Kerberos V4 srvtab. kadmin and
kadmin.local are command-line interfaces to the Kerberos V5 KADM5
administration system. kadmin.local runs on the master KDC and
does not use Kerberos to authenticate to the database, while
kadmin uses Kerberos authentication and an encrypted RPC. The
two provide identical functionalities, which allow administrators to
modify the database of Kerberos principals. kdb5_util allows
administrators to perform low-level maintenance procedures on Kerberos
and the KADM5 database. With this utility, databases can be created,
destroyed, or dumped to and loaded from ASCII files. It can also be
used to create master key stash files.
