### The slave Directory

This directory contains code which allows for the propagation of the Kerberos principal database from the master KDC to slave KDCs over an encrypted, secure channel. `kprop` is the program which actually propagates the database dump file. `kpropd` is the Kerberos V5 slave KDC update server which accepts connections from the `kprop` program. `kslave_update` is a script that takes the name of a slave server, and propagates the database to that server if the database has been modified since the last dump or if the database has been dumped since the last propagation.
