 kta[dd] -p principal_name [-pw password] [-a[uto]] [-r[egistry]]
                           [-f key-file]

 Creates a password for a server or machine in the keytab file on
 the local node.

 The -p option specifies the name of the server or machine principal
 for which you are creating a password.

 The -pw option lets you supply the password on the command line. If
 you do not enter this option or the -auto option, ktadd prompts for
 the password.

 The -a option generates the password randomly.  If you use this
 option, you must also use the -r option.  If you do not specify
 the -auto or the -pw option, you are prompted for a password.

 The -r option updates the principal's password in the registry to
 match the string you enter (or automatically generate) for the
 password in the keytab file.  Use it to ensure that the principal's
 password in the registry and the keytab file are in synch when you
 change a principal's password in the keytab file.  To use this
 option, a password for the principal must exist in the default
 keytab file or the keytab file named by the -f option.

 The -f option specifies the name of the server keytab file on the
 local node to which you are adding the password. If you do not
 specify a keytab file name, dce$local:[krb5]v5srvtab.; is used.
 Note that you must be privileged to add entries in the default
 keytab file.
