NAME

       kstash — store the KDC master password in a file

SYNOPSIS

       kstash   [-e string | --enctype=string]   [-k file | --key-file=file]   [--convert-file]   [--random-key]
              [--master-key-fd=fd] [--random-key] [-h | --help] [--version]

DESCRIPTION

       kstash reads the Kerberos master key and stores it in a file that will be used by the KDC.

       Supported options:

       -e string, --enctype=string
               the encryption type to use, defaults to DES3-CBC-SHA1.

       -k file, --key-file=file
               the name of the master key file.

       --convert-file
               don't ask for a new master key, just read an old master key file, and write it back  in  the  new
               keyfile format.

       --random-key
               generate a random master key.

       --master-key-fd=fd
               filedescriptor  to  read  passphrase  from, if not specified the passphrase will be read from the
               terminal.

FILES

       /var/heimdal/m-key is the default keyfile if no other keyfile is specified.   The  format  of  a  Heimdal
       master key is the same as a keytab, so ktutil list can be used to list the content of the file.
