### Add Administrators to the Kerberos Database

Next you need to add administrative principals to the Kerberos database. (You must add at least one now.) To do this, use `kadmin.local` on the master KDC. The administrative principals you create should be the ones you added to the ACL file. (See See Add Administrators to the Acl File.) In the following example, the administration principal `admin/admin` is created:

         shell% /usr/local/sbin/kadmin.local
         kadmin.local: addprinc admin/admin@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         NOTICE: no policy specified for "admin/admin@ATHENA.MIT.EDU";

         Enter password for principal admin/admin@ATHENA.MIT.EDU:  <= Enter a password.
         Re-enter password for principal admin/admin@ATHENA.MIT.EDU:  <= Type it again.
