.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
listens for requests for changes to the Kerberos database and performs
these, subject to permissions. When starting, if stdin is a socket it assumes that it has been started by
.Xr inetd 8 ,
otherwise it behaves as a daemon, forking processes for each new
connection. The
.Fl -debug
option causes
.Nm
to accept exactly one connection, which is useful for debugging.
.Pp
If built with krb4 support, it implements both the Heimdal Kerberos 5
administrative protocol and the Kerberos 4 protocol. Password changes
via the Kerberos 4 protocol are also performed by
.Nm kadmind ,
but the
.Xr kpasswdd 8
daemon is responsible for the Kerberos 5 password changing protocol
(used by
.Xr kpasswd 1 )
.
.Pp
This daemon should only be run on ther master server, and not on any
slaves.
.Pp
Principals are always allowed to change their own password and list
their own principals. Apart from that, doing any operation requires
permission explicitly added in the ACL file
.Pa /var/heimdal/kadmind.acl .
The format of this file is:
.Bd -ragged
.Va principal
.Va rights
.Op Va principal-pattern
.Ed
.Pp
Where rights is any combination of:
.Bl -bullet
.It
change-password | cpw
.It
list
.It
delete
.It
modify
.It
add
.It
get
.It
all
.El
.Pp
And the optional
.Ar principal-pattern
restricts the rights to principals that match the glob-style pattern.

ports to listen to. By default, if run as a daemon, it listen to ports
749, and 751 (if built with Kerberos 4 support), but you can add any
number of ports with this option. The port string is a whitespace
separated list of port specifications, with the special string
.Dq +
representing the default set of ports.
