KPROP(8)						 KPROP(8)

NAME
       kprop - send Kerberos database from master to slave
       push-kprop - shell script to run kprop

SYNOPSIS
       kprop [ -p ] [ -force ] [ -realm realm ] [ -private ] [ -s
       srvtab ] data_file slaves_file
       push-kprop

DESCRIPTION
       The kprop program is used to copy  the  Kerberos	 database
       from  the  Kerberos  master server to a slave server.  Any
       slave server may serve as a Key Distribution  Center  just
       as  the	master server does, permitting people to use Ker-
       beros programs even if the master server is  inaccessible.

       The  kprop program communicates with the kpropd(8) daemon,
       which runs on the slave server.

       The data_file argument is a file	 created  by  kdb_util(8)
       with the slave_dump option.

       The  slaves_file argument is a text file containing a list
       of the hostnames of the slave servers.  It should  contain
       one  hostname  per  line.  Each hostname may optionally be
       followed by the port number to  contact,	 separated  by	a
       colon (e.g. host.domain:2754).  The default port number is
       found by using getservbyname(3) to look	up  the	 krb_prop
       service.	 If that is not defined, kprop uses 754.

       The  kprop program and the kdb_util(8) program communicate
       using a semaphore file.	The  name  of  the  file  is  the
       data_file  argument  with  .dump_ok appended.  The file is
       automatically created by kdb_util(8) when  the  slave_dump
       option is used.

       The  push_kprop	shell script may be used to invoke kprop.
       It assumes  that	 the  list  of	slaves	is  in	the  file
       /usr/kerberos/database/slavelist.

       Normally the Kerberos database will be propagated from the
       server to the slaves by invoking push_kprop on  a  regular
       basis using cron(8).

       The kprop program requires a srvtab file with an entry for
       rcmd.HOSTNAME@REALM.  This is the same type of srvtab file
       required to run the klogind(8) or kshd(8) servers.  Srvtab
       files can be created using the ksrvutil(8)  program.   The
       default	srvtab file is /etc/krb-srvtab.	 This default may
       be overridden with the -s option.

OPTIONS
       -p   Use preauthentication when retrieving tickets.

       -force
	    Transfer the database even if the semaphore file gen-
	    erated  by kdb_util(8) indicates that the dump is not
	    up to date.

       -realm realm
	    Set the Kerberos realm name.  The default realm  name
	    is obtained using krb_get_lrealm(3).

       -private
	    Encrypt  the  data	being  sent  to the slave server.
	    This is the default.

       -s srvtab
	    Set the name of the srvtab file to use when	 retriev-
	    ing tickets.  The default is /etc/krb-srvtab.

FILES
       /usr/kerberos/database/slavelist
	    The list of slave hostnames used by push-kprop.

       /usr/kerberos/database/slavesave
	    The database dump file used by push-kprop.

       /tmp/kproptktXXXXXX
	    The ticket file used by kprop.

       /etc/krb-srvtab
	    The default srvtab file.
