+<p>The stash file is a local copy of the master key that resides in
+encrypted form on the KDC&#8217;s local disk. The stash file is used to
+authenticate the KDC to itself automatically before starting the
+<a class="reference internal" href="../admin/admin_commands/kadmind.html#kadmind-8"><em>kadmind</em></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="../admin/admin_commands/krb5kdc.html#krb5kdc-8"><em>krb5kdc</em></a> daemons (e.g., as part of the
+machine&#8217;s boot sequence). The stash file, like the keytab file (see
+<a class="reference internal" href="../admin/install_appl_srv.html#keytab-file"><em>The keytab file</em></a>) is a potential point-of-entry for a break-in, and
+if compromised, would allow unrestricted access to the Kerberos
+database. If you choose to install a stash file, it should be
+readable only by root, and should exist only on the KDC&#8217;s local disk.
+The file should not be part of any backup of the machine, unless
+access to the backup data is secured as tightly as access to the
+master password itself.</p>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">If you choose not to install a stash file, the KDC will prompt you for the master key each time it starts up.
+This means that the KDC will not be able to start automatically, such as after a system reboot.</p>
