I know this gets into religion, but I don't think adding srvtab
keys to the protection database is such a good idea. I think
it's a better idea to create some magic user (say sipbafs,
afsadmin, etc.) add just add that key to the srvtab rather than
adding rcmd.arbitrary-host to the protection database. If the
principle in question has a text password that maps to the key,
then you can add this principle to the srvtab with the command
ksrvutil. Just use ksrvutil add. (ksrvutil is in /usr/athena.)
Just my opinion. Counterarguments welcome as always...
