+.SH NAME
+kadmin \- network utility for Kerberos database administration
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B kadmin [-u user] [-r default_realm] [-m] [-t]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This utility provides a unified administration interface to
+the
+Kerberos
+master database.
+Kerberos
+administrators
+use
+.I kadmin
+to register new users and services to the master database,
+and to change information about existing database entries.
+For instance, an administrator can use
+.I kadmin
+to change a user's
+Kerberos
+password.
+A Kerberos administrator is a user with an ``admin'' instance
+whose name appears on one of the Kerberos administration access control
+lists. If the \-u option is used,
+.I user
+will be used as the administrator instead of the local user.
+If the \-r option is used,
+.I default_realm
+will be used as the default realm for transactions. Otherwise,
+the local realm will be used by default.
+If the \-m option is used, multiple requests will be permitted
+on only one entry of the admin password. Some sites won't
+support this option. The \-t option is used to tell kadmin to use the
+existing ticket file instead of creating a new one.
+
+The
+.I kadmin
+program communicates over the network with the
+.I kadmind
+program, which runs on the machine housing the Kerberos master
+database.
+The
+.I kadmind
+creates new entries and makes modifications to the database.
+
+When you enter the
+.I kadmin
+command,
+the program displays a message that welcomes you and explains
+how to ask for help.
+Then
+.I kadmin
+waits for you to enter commands (which are described below).
+It then asks you for your
+.I admin
+password before accessing the database.
+
+All commands can be abbreviated as long as they are unique. Some
+short versions of the commands are also recognized for backwards
+compatibility.
+
+Use the
+.I add_new_key
+(or
+.I ank
+for short)
+command to register a new principal
+with the master database.
+The command requires one argument,
+the principal's name. The name
+given can be fully qualified using
+the standard
+.I name.instance@realm
+convention.
+You are asked to enter your
+.I admin
+password,
+then prompted twice to enter the principal's
+new password. If no realm is specified,
+the local realm is used unless another was
+given on the commandline with the \-r flag.
+If no instance is
+specified, a null instance is used. If
+a realm other than the default realm is specified,
+you will need to supply your admin password for
+the other realm.
+
+Use the
+.I change_password (cpw)
+to change a principal's
+Kerberos
+password.
+The command requires one argument,
+the principal's
+name.
+You are asked to enter your
+.I admin
+password,
+then prompted twice to enter the principal's new password.
+The name
+given can be fully qualified using
+the standard
+.I name.instance@realm
+convention.
+
+Use the
+.I change_key (ckey)
+if you have a need to change the raw key of a particular principal.
+In other words, if you do not want to input a DES key instead of a
+password that will get converted into a DES key.
+
+Use the
+.I change_admin_password (cap)
+to change your
+.I admin
+instance password.
+This command requires no arguments.
+It prompts you for your old
+.I admin
+password, then prompts you twice to enter the new
+.I admin
+password. If this is your first command,
+the default realm is used. Otherwise, the realm
+used in the last command is used.
+
+Use the
+.I del_entry (del)
+to remove an entry from the kerberos database.
+
+Use the
+.I mod_entry (mod)
+to modify a particular entry, for example to change the expire date.
+
+Use the
+.I destroy_tickets (dest)
+command to destroy your admin tickets explicitly.
+
+Use the
+.I list_requests (lr)
+command to get a list of possible commands.
+
+Use the
+.I help
+command to display
+.IR kadmin's
+various help messages.
+If entered without an argument,
+.I help
+displays a general help message.
+You can get detailed information on specific
+.I kadmin
+commands
+by entering
+.I help
+.IR command_name .
+
+To quit the program, type
+.IR quit .
+
+.SH BUGS
+The user interface is primitive, and the command names could be better.
