11: .SH SYNOPSIS
12: .B make_keypair hostname [ hostname ... ] \- generate Kerberos host key pair
13: .SH DESCRIPTION
14: The
15: .I make_keypair
16: command
17: is used to create pairs of DES keys for
18: each host.
19: The keys are used by priviledged programs such as
20: .IR register (1)
21: to make remote updates to the Kerberos database without
22: having to have first acquired a Kerberos ticket granting ticket (TGT).
23: The keys created by
24: .I make_keypair
25: are placed (by hand) in the filesystems of the
26: kerberos server in /etc/kerberosIV/register_keys,
27: and in the root directory on the clients.
28: For example, the file /.update.key128.32.130.3 would
29: contain a copy of the key on the client with
30: IP address 128.32.130.3.
31: These keys provide a shared secret which may be used to establish
32: a secure channel between the client hosts and the Kerberos server.
