I assume "ksrvutil change" sets a random password using the same
algorithm as "kdb_edit" uses when you enter "RANDOM" as the password. Is
there any reason to worry about someone being more likely to guess a
service key if the key is set using "ksrvutil change"? I'm just
wondering if the random key generator is somehow predictable.
Thanks,
