NAME
       kpropd - Kerberos database slave server daemon
       in.kpropd - shell script to start kpropd

SYNOPSIS
       kpropd  [  -r  realm  ] [ -s srvtab ] [ -d database ] [ -u
       port ] [ -l logfile ] [ -i ] [ -c command ]  [  -C  arg	]
       filename
       in.kpropd

DESCRIPTION
       The kpropd daemon runs on a Kerberos slave server.  A Ker-
       beros slave server holds a copy	of  the	 master	 Kerberos
       database.   Any	slave server may serve as a Key Distribu-
       tion Center just as the	master	server	does,  permitting
       people  to use Kerberos programs even if the master server
       is inaccessible.

       The kprop(8) program running on the master server contacts
       the  kpropd daemon running on the slave server in order to
       copy over the Kerberos database.

       The kpropd daemon is normally  started  by  arranging  for
       inetd(8)	 to  run the in.kpropd shell script.  Normally, a
       line like this would be added to the /etc/inetd.conf file:
	    krb_prop  stream	tcp  nowait    root /usr/kerberos/etc/in.kpropd in.kpropd
       The kpropd daemon may also be run directly as a server.

       The kpropd daemon has a single required argument, which is
       the name of a file in which to store the database received
       from  kprop(8) running on the master server (the in.kpropd
       script  passes	/usr/kerberos/database/slavedb).    After
       kpropd	receives   the	 database  information,	 it  runs
       kdb_util(8) to load it into the local Kerberos database.

       The kpropd daemon will  only  accept  data  from	 machines
       which  are  listed  in krb.conf as an admin server.  (Note
       that this is different than the original	 MIT  implementa-
       tion which only accepted data from machines with a primary
       DNS name of kerberos; this  constraint  is  gone,  as  the
       krb.conf entry is sufficient.)

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

       -s srvtab
	    Set the name of the srvtab file to use when authenti-
	    cating   the  ticket  received  from  kprop(8).   The
	    default is /etc/krb-srvtab.

       -d database
	    Set the name of the Kerberos  database.   This  is	a

	    prefix  used  to  name  three  files.  The default is
	    /usr/kerberos/database/principal.

       -u port
	    Set the port to accept connections on.  This is  only
	    meaningful if the -i option is not used.  The default
	    is to use getservbyname(3) to look	up  the	 krb_prop
	    service.  If that is not defined, kpropd uses 754.

       -l logfile
	    Set	 the  name  of	the  log  file.	  The  default is
	    /usr/kerberos/database/kpropd.log.

       -i   Assume kpropd was run from inetd(8).  The default  is
	    for	 kpropd	 to  open  a socket and to loop accepting
	    connections.

       -c command
	    Specify the path of	 the  kdb_util(8)  command  which
	    kpropd  should run after receiving the database.  The
	    default is to just run kdb_util, assuming  it  is  on
	    PATH.

       -C arg
	    Set the argument to pass to kdb_util(8).  The default
	    argument is load.

FILES
       /usr/kerberos/database/principal
	    The default Kerberos database name.

       /usr/kerberos/database/kpropd.log
	    The default log file name.

       /usr/kerberos/database/slavedb
	    Default file name passed to kpropd by in.kpropd.

       /etc/krb-srvtab
	    The default srvtab file.
