kpropd(8krb)
Name
kpropd − Kerberos utility
Syntax
/usr/etc/kpropd output_file [ −d krb_database ] [ −l log_file ]
[ −r realm_name ] [ −s srvtab_file ]
Description
The kpropd daemon runs on a Kerberos slave and waits to receive the Kerberos database propagated from a kprop process on a Kerberos master. The first parameter, output_file, that you must supply to the kpropd daemon is the name of a database file in which data will be placed when it comes over the network.
The kpropd utility executes the kdb_util(8krb) utility, which loads the database from the file specified in output_file, puts it in ndbm format, and copies it into the Kerberos database in the /var/dss/kerberos/dbase directory.
Options
−r Specifies the receiver realm for which data is accepted; /etc/krb.conf specifies the default. (See the krb.conf(5krb) reference page for more information.)
−s Specifies the service table (srvtab) file from which to read the password of the kpropd daemon, because a password cannot be entered manually when kpropd is running as a daemon. The default is /etc/srvtab.
−d Specifies the primary Kerberos database file of a Kerberos slave. This file receives a new or updated database propagated from the Kerberos master. The default is the ndbm database in the directory, /usr/var/dss/kerberos/dbase. The ndbm files are: principal.dir, principal.ok, and principal.pag.
−l This option specifies the name of the log file to use. The default log file is /var/dss/kerberos/log/kpropd.log.
Restrictions
The kpropd command does not support the transfer of encrypted data.
If the /var/dss/kerberos/bin directory is not included in the PATH environment variable of the process that runs kprop, then kprop will fail because it cannot locate kdb_util.
Files
/usr/var/dss/kerberos/dbase/principal.ok
