.SH DESCRIPTION
.I kprop
is used to propagate a Kerberos V5 database dump file from the master
Kerberos server to a slave Kerberos server, which is specfied by
.IR slave_host .  
This is done by transmitting the dumped database file to the slave
server over an encrypted, secure channel.  The dump file must be created
by kdb5_util, and is normally KPROP_DEFAULT_FILE
(/var/db/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans).
.SH OPTIONS

by
.IR krb5_default_local_realm (3)
is used.
.TP
\fB\-f\fP \fIfile\fP
specifies the filename where the dumped principal database file is to be
found; by default the dumped database file is KPROP_DEFAULT_FILE
(normally /var/db/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans).
