HPROPD(8)

✨ HPROPD — receive a propagated database ✨

ok so this is a page from the System Manager's Manual, section 8 (that's the admin/sysadmin section bestie, iykyk) 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

hpropd — receive a propagated database 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

hpropd [-d file | --database=file] [-n | --stdin] [--print]
       [-i | --no-inetd] [-k keytab | --keytab=keytab] [-4 | --v4dump]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so hpropd is the girl who receives. hprop sends the database over, and hpropd catches it and writes it as a local database. it's giving relay race but make it Kerberos. 🏃‍♀️✨

by default, hpropd expects to be started from inetd if stdin is a socket, and expects to receive the dumped database over stdin otherwise. so like, it reads the room first. 👑

if the database is sent over the network, it is authenticated and encrypted 🔐 — no sending your database out there naked, absolutely not, we don't do that.

and the gatekeeping?? only connections authenticated with the principal kadmin/hprop are accepted. periodt. if you're not on the list you're not coming in 💅

options supported, let's go bestie:

• -d file, --database=file — database 📁
• -n, --stdin — read from stdin 🍓
• --print — print dump to stdout 🖨️
• -i, --no-inetd — not started from inetd 🙈
• -k keytab, --keytab=keytab — keytab to use for authentication 🔑
• -4, --v4dump — create v4 type DB ⭐
