18 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
8107e037 | 19 | The |
0fccfdb8 | 20 | .Nm make_keypair |
8107e037 | 21 | command |
0fccfdb8 CL |
22 | is used to create pairs of |
23 | .Tn DES | |
24 | keys for | |
25 | each | |
26 | .Ar hostname . | |
8107e037 | 27 | The keys are used by priviledged programs such as |
0fccfdb8 | 28 | .Xr register 1 |
8107e037 | 29 | to make remote updates to the Kerberos database without |
0fccfdb8 CL |
30 | having to have first acquired a Kerberos ticket granting ticket |
31 | .Pq Tn TGT . | |
8107e037 | 32 | The keys created by |
0fccfdb8 | 33 | .Nm make_keypair |
8107e037 | 34 | are placed (by hand) in the filesystems of the |
0fccfdb8 CL |
35 | kerberos server in |
36 | .Pa /etc/kerberosIV/register_keys , | |
8107e037 | 37 | and in the root directory on the clients. |
0fccfdb8 CL |
38 | For example, the file |
39 | .Pa /.update.key128.32.130.3 | |
40 | would | |
8107e037 KF |
41 | contain a copy of the key on the client with |
42 | IP address 128.32.130.3. | |
43 | These keys provide a shared secret which may be used to establish | |
44 | a secure channel between the client hosts and the Kerberos server. | |
