Since random_key() is purely time-based, ksrvutil used to use it, and
ksrvutil is used to change the key on clients (stored in
/etc/krb-srvtab), is it not also necessary to run "ksrvutil change" on
each system that supports incoming Kerberized connections (rlogin,
etc)? You know the time it was run from the last-write timestamp on
the file....
I'd love to hear that it's not, but I haven't been able to convince
myself of it.
