Principal Database Utilities
The principal database utilities are tools that you can use to globally
manage the principal database. Use these tools only if the database was
not properly created or configured during installation, or if you are
debugging or upgrading your security server.
To use the principal database utilities, you must have operating system
administrative privileges or logged on as the root user. Table 6-5 lists
the global database tasks and the tools used to perform each task.
The Principal Database Utilities have been discussed in detail in the
subsequent chapters of this chapter. Export the following path before
executing any of the commands mentioned above:
$ EXPORT PATH=$PATH:/opt/krb5/admin
