NAME
kdb_init - Initialize Kerberos key distribution center database
SYNOPSIS
kdb_init [
realm
]
DESCRIPTION
kdb_init
initializes a Kerberos key distribution center database, creating the
necessary principals.

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.
