Name
wkt — Write/append to keytab
Synopsis
wkt keytab-file
The wkt command writes the contents of the keylist into a
keytab file. The wkt command
can be rather confusing. Instead of overwriting the contents of
the keytab file if it already exists, the wkt command will append the contents of
the keylist to the existing keytab file. Therefore, if you want to
delete an entry from the system keytab file, you must read it in,
delete the offending entry, use the wkt command to write it to a new file,
then replace the system keytab file with the new keytab file. If
you instead use wkt to write
the keylist to the system keytab directly, it will append the
keylist to the existing keytab, creating a mess of duplicate
entries.
