   as it often happens to me i discovered this myself shortly after
   mailing my note - sorry to bother you. however, i do have another
   question. when i created my first principal in the database, most
   dates appeared to be set to 1969:

   Last password change: Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 1969
   Last successful password: Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 1969
   Last failed password attempt: Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 1969

Those date fields are set to zero, which gets translated into 1969; I
suppose I could set them all to the current time, but that also gets a
bit confusing.

   also, could you tell me what format should i use to specify
   dates in kdb5_edit - i'm having difficulty figuring it out from
   the code. i tried various combinations like

   kdb5_edit: modent -pwexpire "Dec 31 19:00:00 2037" ams

Try something like "Dec 31 2037 19:00:00".  The format is pretty
free-form, but you have to specify the date as one unit, followed by the
time as one unit.  Splitting up the year from the rest of the date isn't
supported by the time parser.
