15 _\bk_\bd_\bb_\b__\be_\bd_\bi_\bt is used to create or change principals stored in
16 the Kerberos key distribution center (KDC) database.
17
18 When executed, _\bk_\bd_\bb_\b__\be_\bd_\bi_\bt prompts for the master key string
19 and verifies that it matches the master key stored in the
20 database. If the -\b-n\bn option is specified, the master key
21 is instead fetched from the master key cache file.
22
23 Once the master key has been verified, _\bk_\bd_\bb_\b__\be_\bd_\bi_\bt begins a
24 prompt loop. The user is prompted for the principal and
25 instance to be modified. If the entry is not found the
26 user may create it. Once an entry is found or created,
27 the user may set the password, expiration date, maximum
28 ticket lifetime, and attributes. Default expiration
29 dates, maximum ticket lifetimes, and attributes are pre-
30 sented in brackets; if the user presses return the default
31 is selected. There is no default password. The password
32 RANDOM is interpreted specially, and if entered the user
33 may have the program select a random DES key for the prin-
34 cipal.
35
36 Upon successfully creating or changing the entry, ``Edit
37 O.K.'' is printed.
