       _k_s_t_a_s_h saves the Kerberos key  distribution  center  (KDC)
       database master key in the master key cache file.

       The  user  is  prompted  to  enter  the key, to verify the
       authenticity of the key and the authorization to store the
       key in the file.

                           The  master  key  string  entered  was
                           incorrect.

       "kstash: Unable to open master key file"
                           The attempt to open the cache file for
                           writing failed (probably due to a sys-
                           tem or access permission error).

       "kstash: Write I/O error on master key file"
                           The wwrriittee(2) system call  returned  an
                           error  while  _k_s_t_a_s_h was attempting to
                           write the key to the file.
