.SH DESCRIPTION
.I kdb5_mkdums
is used to create many test entries in a Kerberos version 5 principal
database. 
Each entry is created with a known password, for later verification.
.I kdb5_verify
can be used to verify that the entries were stored correctly in the
database and can be retrieved.
.I kdc5_hammer
can be used to make repeated ticket requests of the KDC for principals
created via
.I kdb5_mkdums
in order to ``stress test'' the KDC.
.PP
The
.B \-p
.I prefix
argument specifies the prefix name for each principal to be created.
The current number and depth will be appended to the prefix.
.PP
The
.B \-n
.I num_to_create
argument specifies the number of principals to create (at each depth).
.PP
The
.B \-D
.I depth
option specifies the maximum number of components a principal should
have; the default depth is 1.
.PP
The
.B \-r
.I realm
option specifies the realm in which the entreis should be created;
by default the realm returned by
.IR krb5_default_local_realm (3)
is used.
.PP
The
.B \-d
.I dbname
option specifies the name under which the principal database is to be
created; by default the database is in DEFAULT_DBM_FILE (normally
/krb5/principal).
.PP
The
.B \-k
.I keytype
option specifies the key type (as an ascii representation of a decimal
number) of the master key in the database; the default is KEYTYPE_DES.
.PP
The
.B \-M
.I mkeyname
option specifies the principal name for the master key in the database;
the default is KRB5_KDB_M_NAME (usually "K/M" in the KDC's realm).
.PP
The
.B \-e
.I enctype
option specifies the encryption type (as an ascii representation of a decimal
number) to be used when placing entries in
the database; the default is the default encryption type for the master
keytype.
.SH EXAMPLE
.I
kdb5_mkdums -p test -n 2 -D 3
.R
will create the following principals, each with their printed names as
passwords:
.nf
.in +1i
test1-DEPTH-1@FOO.MIT.EDU
test2-DEPTH-1@FOO.MIT.EDU
test1-DEPTH-1/test1-DEPTH-2@FOO.MIT.EDU
test2-DEPTH-1/test2-DEPTH-2@FOO.MIT.EDU
test1-DEPTH-1/test1-DEPTH-2/test1-DEPTH-3@FOO.MIT.EDU
test2-DEPTH-1/test2-DEPTH-2/test2-DEPTH-3@FOO.MIT.EDU
.in -1i
.fi
.SH BUGS
Should be do something intelligent about testing fields other than the
password.
