Now that we are increasing the number of hosts that are in our Kerberos
realm, one thought comes to mind: the current method for managing srvtabs
really bites.
Specifically, the thought of doing "ark host/foo", "xst foo host", etc etc,
a billion times is giving me screaming nightmares.
I am wondering what larger sites do w.r.t. srvtab management. Are there
any custom scripts that people use? Do people actually change the keys
in the srvtabs, or do they leave them at the initial value?
And as a site note, how many people _really_ use a floppy/tape drive/whatever
to send the srvtab to various machines, and how many people just ftp it
over in the clear? I know that the stuff in the srvtabs should never go
in the clear, but since you only do it once ...
