SYNOPSISkdb_init [ realm ]
DESCRIPTIONkdb_init initializes a Kerberos key distribution center
database, creating the necessary principals.
If the optional realm argument is not present, kdb_init
prompts for a realm name (defaulting to the definition in
/usr/include/krb.h). After determining the realm to be
created, it prompts for a master key password. The master
key password is used to encrypt every encryption key
stored in the database.
