I tried the 'rcp -x' hack after updating the *whole* v5svrtab for each
machine.

The problem is that there isn't an overlap between old and new keys.
Updating the keyserver's database files nukes any chance of getting a
mutually agreed upon service key for the rcp.

Perhaps I should have copied the whole database file, made new keys in
that one and then distributed the new svtab while the kdc was still
using the old database.  Does anyone do this?  

Or more fundamentally am I being silly to periodically "refresh" the
svtabs?
