KPROPD(8)							     KPROPD(8)

NAME
       kpropd - Kerberos V5 slave KDC update server

SYNOPSIS
       kpropd  [  -r realm ] [ -f slave_dumpfile ] [ -F principal_database ] [
       -p kdb5_util_prog ] [ -d ] [ -S ] [ -P port ]

DESCRIPTION
       kpropd is the server which accepts connections from the	kprop(8)  pro‐
       gram.   kpropd accepts the dumped KDC database and places it in a file,
       and then runs kdb5_util(8) to load the dumped database into the	active
       database which is used by krb5kdc(8).  Thus, the master Kerberos server
       can use kprop(8) to propagate its database to the slave slavers.	  Upon
       a  successful  download	of  the	 KDC database file, the slave Kerberos
       server will have an up-to-date KDC database.

       Normally, kpropd is invoked out of inetd(8).  This is done by adding  a
       line to the inetd.conf file which looks like this:

       kprop	 stream	   tcp	nowait	  root /usr/local/sbin/kpropd	kpropd

       However,	 kpropd	 can also run as a standalone deamon, if the -S option
       is turned on.  This is done for debugging purposes, or if for some rea‐
       son  the	 system	 administrator	just  doesn't  want  to	 run it out of
       inetd(8).

OPTIONS
       -r realm
	      specifies the realm of the master server; by default  the	 realm
	      returned by krb5_default_local_realm(3) is used.

       -f file
	      specifies	 the filename where the dumped principal database file
	      is to  be	 stored;  by  default  the  dumped  database  file  is
	      KPROPD_DEFAULT_FILE  (normally  /usr/local/var/krb5kdc/from_mas‐
	      ter).

       -p     allows the user to specify the pathname to the kdb5_util(8) pro‐
	      gram;  by	 default the pathname used is KPROPD_DEFAULT_KDB5_UTIL
	      (normally /usr/local/sbin/kdb5_util).

       -S     turn on standalone mode.	Normally, kpropd  is  invoked  out  of
	      inetd(8)	so  it expects a network connection to be passed to it
	      from inetd (8).  If the -S option is specified, kpropd will  put
	      itself  into  the	 background,  and  wait for connections to the
	      KPROP_SERVICE port (normally krb5_prop).

       -d     turn on debug mode.  In this mode, if the -S option is selected,
	      kpropd  will  not	 detach itself from the current job and run in
	      the background.  Instead, it will	 run  in  the  foreground  and
	      print out debugging messages during the database propagation.

       -P     allow for an alternate port number for kpropd to listen on. This
	      is only useful if the program is run in standalone mode.

FILES
       kpropd.acl  Access file for kpropd.  Each entry is  a  line  containing
		   the	principal  of a host from which the local machine will
		   allow Kerberos database propagation via kprop.
