Kerberos IV code, based on a merge of fixed code from KTH and original
4.4BSD Lite code (international edition). Provides all functionality from the original 4.4BSD code plus standard Kerberos elements that were omitted in the 4.4BSD code.

+.SH NAME
+ksrvutil \- host kerberos keyfile (srvtab) manipulation utility
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+ksrvutil
+.B operation
+[
+.B \-k
+] [
+.B \-i
+] [
+.B \-f filename
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I ksrvutil
+allows a system manager to list or change keys currently in his
+keyfile or to add new keys to the keyfile.
+.PP
+
+Operation must be one of the following:
+.TP 10n
+.I list
+lists the keys in a keyfile showing version number and principal
+name. If the \-k option is given, keys will also be shown.
+.TP 10n
+.I change
+changes all the keys in the keyfile by using the regular admin
+protocol. If the \-i flag is given,
+.I ksrvutil
+will prompt for yes or no before changing each key. If the \-k
+option is used, the old and new keys will be displayed.
+.TP 10n
+.I add
+allows the user to add a key.
+.I add
+prompts for name, instance, realm, and key version number, asks
+for confirmation, and then asks for a password.
+.I ksrvutil
+then converts the password to a key and appends the keyfile with
+the new information. If the \-k option is used, the key is
+displayed.
+
+.PP
+In all cases, the default file used is KEY_FILE as defined in
+krb.h unless this is overridden by the \-f option.
+
+.PP
+A good use for
+.I ksrvutil
+would be for adding keys to a keyfile. A system manager could
+ask a kerberos administrator to create a new service key with
+.IR kadmin (8)
+and could supply an initial password. Then, he could use
+.I ksrvutil
+to add the key to the keyfile and then to change the key so that
+it will be random and unknown to either the system manager or
+the kerberos administrator.
+
+.I ksrvutil
+always makes a backup copy of the keyfile before making any
+changes.
+
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+If
+.I ksrvutil
+should exit on an error condition at any time during a change or
+add, a copy of the
+original keyfile can be found in
+.IR filename .old
+where
+.I filename
+is the name of the keyfile, and a copy of the file with all new
+keys changed or added so far can be found in
+.IR filename .work.
+The original keyfile is left unmodified until the program exits
+at which point it is removed and replaced it with the workfile.
+Appending the workfile to the backup copy and replacing the
+keyfile with the result should always give a usable keyfile,
+although the resulting keyfile will have some out of date keys
+in it.
