`hpropd` — receive a propagated database

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

`hpropd` \[`-d` `file` | `--database=file`] \[`-n` | `--stdin`] \[`--print`] \[`-i` | `--no-inetd`] \[`-k` `keytab` | `--keytab=keytab`] \[`-4` | `--v4dump`]

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

`hpropd` receives a database sent by `hprop`. and writes it as a local database.

By default, `hpropd` expects to be started from `inetd` if stdin is a socket and expects to receive the dumped database over stdin otherwise. If the database is sent over the network, it is authenticated and encrypted. Only connections authenticated with the principal `kadmin`/`hprop` are accepted.

Options supported:

[`-d`](#d) `file`, `--database=file`

database

[`-n`](#n), `--stdin`

read from stdin

[`--print`](#print)

print dump to stdout

[`-i`](#i), `--no-inetd`

not started from inetd

[`-k`](#k) `keytab`, `--keytab=keytab`

keytab to use for authentication

[`-4`](#4), `--v4dump`
