NAME
       ext_srvtab  -  extract service key files from Kerberos key
       distribution center database

SYNOPSIS
       ext_srvtab [ -n ] [ -r realm ] [ hostname ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       ext_srvtab extracts service key files  from  the  Kerberos
       key distribution center (KDC) database.

       Upon  execution,  it  prompts the user to enter the master
       key string for the database.  If the -n option  is  speci-
       fied,  the  master  key is instead fetched from the master
       key cache file.

       For  each  hostname  specified  on   the   command   line,
       ext_srvtab  creates  the  service  key  file hostname-new-
       srvtab, containing all the entries in the database with an
       instance  field  of  hostname.  This new file contains all
       the keys registered for Kerberos-mediated service  provid-
       ing  programs which use the krb_get_phost(3) principal and
       instance conventions to run on the host hostname.  If  the
       -r  option is specified, the realm fields in the extracted
       file will match the given  realm  rather  than  the  local
       realm.

DIAGNOSTICS
       "verify_master_key: Invalid master key, does not match
       database."
                           The  master  key  string  entered  was
                           incorrect.
