DESCRIPTION

12     kstash reads the Kerberos master key and stores it in a file that will be
13     used by the KDC.
14
15     Supported options:
16
17     -e string, --enctype=string
18             the encryption type to use, defaults to DES3-CBC-SHA1.
19
20     -k file, --key-file=file
21             the name of the master key file.
22
23     --convert-file
24             don't ask for a new master key, just read an old master key file,
25             and write it back in the new keyfile format.
26
27     --random-key
28             generate a random master key.
29
30     --master-key-fd=fd
31             filedescriptor to read passphrase from, if not specified the
32             passphrase will be read from the terminal.
33

FILES

35     /var/heimdal/m-key is the default keyfile if no other keyfile is speci‐
36     fied.  The format of a Heimdal master key is the same as a keytab, so
37     ktutil list can be used to list the content of the file.
