Loading the Kerberos Database
The kdb_load utility loads the database with the principal entries from
a database dump text file. This utility over-rides the existing database
entries with the corresponding entries that are present in the dump file.
Principals in the existing database that are absent in the dump file are
not changed or removed.
We recommend that you run the kdb_load utility on the primary servers
only. If the propagation is configured correctly, the kdb_load securely
copies the database entries to each secondary server present on your
network.
The general syntax for this is:
kdb_load [-f filename]
The kdb_dump utility uses the following options:
-f filename Specifies the database dump text file to copy into the
database.
Given below is an example of using the kdb_load:
shell% kdb_dump -f <filename>
