The keys are used by privileged programs such as .Xr register 1 to make remote updates to the Kerberos database without having to have first acquired a Kerberos ticket granting ticket .Pq Tn TGT . The keys created by .Nm make_keypair are placed (by hand) in the filesystems of the kerberos server in .Pa /etc/kerberosIV/register_keys , and in the root directory of the clients. For example, the file .Pa /.update.key128.32.130.3 would contain a copy of the key of 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. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /etc/kerberosIV/register_keysxx -compact .It Pa /.update.keyxx.xx.xx.xx shared .Tn DES key with server .It Pa /etc/kerberosIV/register_keys server's key storage directory .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr register 1 , .Xr registerd 8 , .Xr kerberos 1 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm make_keypair utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
