NAME

       k5srvutil - host key table (keytab) manipulation utility

SYNOPSIS

       k5srvutil operation [ -i ] [ -f filename ]

DESCRIPTION

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

       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  by  using  the  kadmin  protocol.   If a key’s version
                 number  doesn’t  match  the  version  number  stored  in  the
                 Kerberos  server’s  database,   then the operation will fail.
                 The old keys are retained so that existing  tickets  continue
                 to  work.  If the -i flag is given, k5srvutil will prompt for
                 yes or no before changing each key.   If  the  -k  option  is
                 used, the old and new keys will be displayed.

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

       delete    deletes   particular   keys   in  the  keytab,  interactively
                 prompting for each key.

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

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