+<h2>DESCRIPTION<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>The <em>kpropd</em> command runs on the slave KDC server. It listens for
+update requests made by the <a class="reference internal" href="kprop.html#kprop-8"><em>kprop</em></a> program. If incremental
+propagation is enabled, it periodically requests incremental updates
+from the master KDC.</p>
+<p>When the slave receives a kprop request from the master, kpropd
+accepts the dumped KDC database and places it in a file, and then runs
+<a class="reference internal" href="kdb5_util.html#kdb5-util-8"><em>kdb5_util</em></a> to load the dumped database into the active
+database which is used by <a class="reference internal" href="krb5kdc.html#krb5kdc-8"><em>krb5kdc</em></a>. This allows the master
+Kerberos server to use <a class="reference internal" href="kprop.html#kprop-8"><em>kprop</em></a> to propagate its database to
+the slave servers. Upon a successful download of the KDC database
+file, the slave Kerberos server will have an up-to-date KDC database.</p>
+<p>Where incremental propagation is not used, kpropd is commonly invoked
+out of inetd(8) as a nowait service. This is done by adding a line to
+the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/etc/inetd.conf</span></tt> file which looks like this:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>kprop stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/kpropd kpropd
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>kpropd can also run as a standalone daemon, backgrounding itself and
+waiting for connections on port 754 (or the port specified with the
+<strong>-P</strong> option if given). Standalone mode is required for incremental
+propagation. Starting in release 1.11, kpropd automatically detects
+whether it was run from inetd and runs in standalone mode if it is
+not. Prior to release 1.11, the <strong>-S</strong> option is required to run
+kpropd in standalone mode; this option is now accepted for backward
+compatibility but does nothing.</p>
+<p>Incremental propagation may be enabled with the <strong>iprop_enable</strong>
+variable in <a class="reference internal" href="../conf_files/kdc_conf.html#kdc-conf-5"><em>kdc.conf</em></a>. If incremental propagation is
+enabled, the slave periodically polls the master KDC for updates, at
+an interval determined by the <strong>iprop_slave_poll</strong> variable. If the
+slave receives updates, kpropd updates its log file with any updates
+from the master. <a class="reference internal" href="kproplog.html#kproplog-8"><em>kproplog</em></a> can be used to view a summary of
+the update entry log on the slave KDC. If incremental propagation is
+enabled, the principal <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">kiprop/slavehostname&#64;REALM</span></tt> (where
+<em>slavehostname</em> is the name of the slave KDC host, and <em>REALM</em> is the
+name of the Kerberos realm) must be present in the slave&#8217;s keytab
+file.</p>
+<p><a class="reference internal" href="kproplog.html#kproplog-8"><em>kproplog</em></a> can be used to force full replication when iprop is
+enabled.</p>
