.SH DESCRIPTION
.I kdb5_edit
allows an administrator to add, delete, and edit entries in a Kerberos
version 5 principal database.
After themaster key is verified, commands are to
.I kdb5_edit
are issued using one of three mechanisms.  If a single command is supplied 
using the
.B \-R
.I command
argument, then that single command is processed and execution ceases.  If a
script file is provided using the 
.B \-s
.I script
argument, then commands are read from this file until either an error occurs
or an end of file is detected.  Finally, if neither a command or a script is
specified, the invoker is placed into a shell-like command loop, from which
[s]he may issue commands to modify the
database.  
.PP
The
.B \-r
.I realm
option specifies the realm of the database;
by default the realm returned by
.IR krb5_default_local_realm (3)
is used.
.PP
The
.B \-d
.I dbname
option specifies the name under which the principal database is stored;
by default the database is in DEFAULT_DBM_FILE (defined in <krb5/osconf.h>).
.PP
The
.B \-k
.I keytype
option specifies the key type of the master key in the database; the default is
the string representation of DEFAULT_KDC_KEYTYPE (defined in <krb5/osconf.h>).
.PP
The
.B \-f
.I stashfile
option specifies the filename of the stashed V5 master key. The default is
defined as DEFAULT_KEYFILE_STUB in <krb5/osconf.h> and is 
typically $(prefix)/lib/krb5kdc/.k5.REALMNAME. (In previous
releases, this would have been /.k5.REALMNAME.)
.PP
The
.B \-M
.I mkeyname
option specifies the principal name for the master key in the database;
the default is KRB5_KDB_M_NAME (defined in <krb5/kdb.h>).
.PP
The
.B \-e
.I enctype
option specifies the encryption type to be used when placing entries in
the database; the default is the string representation of DEFAULT_KDC_ETYPE
(defined in <krb5/osconf.h>).
.PP
The
.B \-m
option specifies that the master database password should be fetched
from the keyboard rather than from a file on disk.
