NAME
     k5srvutil - host key table (keytab) manipulation utility

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/k5srvutil operation [-ik] [-f filename]


DESCRIPTION
     The k5srvutil command allows a system  manager  to  list  or
     change  keys  currently  in his keytab or to add new keys to
     the keytab.


     The operand operation must be one of the following:

     list      Lists the keys in a keytab, showing version number
               and principal name.


     change    Changes  all  the  keys  in  the  keytab  to   new
               randomly-generated  keys, updating the keys in the
               Kerberos server's database to match those by using
               the  kadmin  protocol.  If  a key's version number
               does not match the version number  stored  in  the
               Kerberos  server's  database, the operation fails.
               The old keys are retained so that existing tickets
               continue  to  work.  If  the -i flag is specified,
               k5srvutil prompts for yes or  no  before  changing
               each  key.  If  the -k option is used, the old and
               new keys are displayed.


     delold    Deletes keys that are not the most recent  version
               from  the keytab. This operation should be used at
               some point after a change operation to remove  old
               keys.  If the -i flag is specified, k5srvutil asks
               the user whether the old keys associated with each
               principal should be removed.


     delete    Deletes particular keys in  the  keytab,  interac-
               tively prompting for each key.



     In all cases, the default keytab  file  is  /etc/krb5.keytab
     file unless this is overridden by the -f option.


     k5srvutil uses the kadmin(1M) program to edit the keytab  in
     place. However, old keys are retained, so they are available
     in case of failure.
