     kkaaddmmiinndd 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 inetd(8),  otherwise it be-
     haves as a daemon, forking processes for each new connection. The ----ddeebbuugg
     option causes kkaaddmmiinndd to accept exactly one connection, which is useful
     for debugging.

     The kpasswdd(8) daemon is responsible for the Kerberos 5 password chang-
     ing protocol (used by kpasswd(1))

     This daemon should only be run on the master server, and not on any
     slaves.

     Principals are always allowed to change their own password and list their
     own principal.  Apart from that, doing any operation requires permission
     explicitly added in the ACL file _/_v_a_r_/_h_e_i_m_d_a_l_/_k_a_d_m_i_n_d_._a_c_l. The format of
     this file is:

     _p_r_i_n_c_i_p_a_l _r_i_g_h_t_s [_p_r_i_n_c_i_p_a_l_-_p_a_t_t_e_r_n]

     Where rights is any (comma separated) combination of:
     ++oo   change-password or cpw
     ++oo   list
     ++oo   delete
     ++oo   modify
     ++oo   add
     ++oo   get
     ++oo   all

     And the optional _p_r_i_n_c_i_p_a_l_-_p_a_t_t_e_r_n restricts the rights to operations on
     principals that match the glob-style pattern.

     Supported options:

     --cc _f_i_l_e, ----ccoonnffiigg--ffiillee==_f_i_l_e
             location of config file

     --kk _f_i_l_e, ----kkeeyy--ffiillee==_f_i_l_e
             location of master key file

     ----kkeeyyttaabb==_k_e_y_t_a_b
             what keytab to use

     --rr _r_e_a_l_m, ----rreeaallmm==_r_e_a_l_m
             realm to use

     --dd, ----ddeebbuugg
             enable debugging

     --pp _p_o_r_t, ----ppoorrttss==_p_o_r_t
             ports to listen to. By default, if run as a daemon, it listens to
             port 749, but you can add any number of ports with this option.
             The port string is a whitespace separated list of port specifica-
             tions, with the special string ``+'' representing the default
             port.

     This will cause kkaaddmmiinndd to listen to port 4711 in addition to any com-
     piled in defaults:

           kkaaddmmiinndd----ppoorrttss="+ 4711" &

     This acl file will grant Joe all rights, and allow Mallory to view and
     add host principals.
