.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 specfieid
by
.I 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_edit, and is normally KPROP_DEFAULT_FILE
(/krb5/slave_datatrans).  The location of the file can be overriden by
the -f option.

.PP
The
.B \-r
.I realm
option specifies the realm of the master server;
by default the realm returned by
.IR krb5_default_local_realm (3)
is used.
.PP
The
.B \-f
.I file
option the filename where the dumped principal database file is to be
found; by default the dumped database file is KPROP_DEFAULT_FILE
(normally /krb5/slave_datatrans).
.PP
The
.B \-P
.I port
option allows one to override the default port to contact the 
.I kpropd
server on the remote host.
