Initial import of KTH eBones. This has been cleaned up to only include
the "core" Kerberos functionality. The rest of the userland will get their own changes later.

+.SH NAME
+kadmind \- network daemon for Kerberos database administration
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B kadmind
+[
+.B \-n
+] [
+.B \-m
+] [
+.B \-h
+] [
+.B \-r realm
+] [
+.B \-f filename
+] [
+.B \-d dbname
+] [
+.B \-a acldir
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I kadmind
+is the network database server for the Kerberos password-changing and
+administration tools.
+.PP
+Upon execution, it fetches the master key from the key cache file.
+.PP
+If the
+.B \-m
+option is specified, it instead prompts the user to enter the master
+key string for the database.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-n
+option is a no-op and is left for compatibility reasons.
+.PP
+If the
+.B \-r
+.I realm
+option is specified, the admin server will pretend that its
+local realm is
+.I realm
+instead of the actual local realm of the host it is running on.
+This makes it possible to run a server for a foreign kerberos
+realm.
+.PP
+If the
+.B \-f
+.I filename
+option is specified, then that file is used to hold the log information
+instead of the default.
+.PP
+If the
+.B \-d
+.I dbname
+option is specified, then that file is used as the database name instead
+of the default.
+.PP
+If the
+.B \-a
+.I acldir
+option is specified, then
+.I acldir
+is used as the directory in which to search for access control lists
+instead of the default.
+.PP
+If the
+.B \-h
+option is specified,
+.I kadmind
+prints out a short summary of the permissible control arguments, and
+then exits.
+.PP
+When performing requests on behalf of clients,
+.I kadmind
+checks access control lists (ACLs) to determine the authorization of the client
+to perform the requested action.
+Currently four distinct access types are supported:
+.TP 1i
+Addition
+(.add ACL file). If a principal is on this list, it may add new
+principals to the database.
+.TP
+Retrieval
+(.get ACL file). If a principal is on this list, it may retrieve
+database entries. NOTE: A principal's private key is never returned by
+the get functions.
+.TP
+Modification
+(.mod ACL file). If a principal is on this list, it may modify entries
+in the database.
+.TP
+Deletions
+(.del ACL file). If a principal is on this list, if may delete
+entries from the database.
+.PP
+A principal is always granted authorization to change its own password.
+.SH FILES
+.TP 20n
+/kerberos/admin_server.syslog
+Default log file.
