MAKE_KEYPAIR(8)           BSD System Manager's Manual          MAKE_KEYPAIR(8)

NAME
     makekeypair - generate Kerberos host key pair

SYNOPSIS
     makekeypair hostname [hostname ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The makekeypair command is used to create pairs of DES keys for each
     hostname. The keys are used by priviledged programs such as register(1)
     to make remote updates to the Kerberos database without having to have
     first acquired a Kerberos ticket granting ticket (TGT). The keys created
     by makekeypair are placed (by hand) in the filesystems of the kerberos
     server in /etc/kerberosIV/registerkeys, and in the root directory on the
     clients.  For example, the file /.update.key128.32.130.3 would contain a
     copy of the key on the client with IP address 128.32.130.3.  These keys
     provide a shared secret which may be used to establish a secure channel
     between the client hosts and the Kerberos server.

FILES
     /.update.keyxx.xx.xx.xx          shared DES key with server
     /etc/kerberosIV/register_keys    server's key storage directory
