cron on the kerberos master should fire off a:
kdb_util slave_dump slave_data_file
kprop slave_data_file slave_hosts_file
with whatever frequency you desire.
On the slave machine(s) you need to run
kpropd slave_data_file &
(This logs to /kerberos/kpropd.log by default.)
(You can put this in an /etc/rc type file or start it manually,
whatever you prefer) ...
The slaves must also have a srvtab with the "rcmd" service in them.
(Otherwise you'll see "can't decode authentictor" messages.) The
slaves will accept updates only from the service "rcmd.KRB_MASTER"
where KRB_MASTER is usually kerberos and is defined in krb.h.
All the data transfered is encrypted in a session using mk_priv_msg.
You need have enough disk space on the slave to temporarily hold two
copies of the database ...
John should put this on the list of things that need documentation.
