The keys are used by priviledged programs such as _r_e_g_i_s_t_e_r(1) to make remote updates to the Kerberos database without having to have first acquired a Kerberos ticket granting ticket (TGT). The keys created by _m_a_k_e__k_e_y_p_a_i_r are placed (by hand) in the filesystems of the kerberos server in /etc/kerberosIV/register_keys, and in the root directory on the clients. For example, the file /.update.key128.32.130.3 would contain a copy of the key on the client with IP address 128.32.130.3. These keys provide a shared secret which may be used to establish a secure channel between the client hosts and the Kerberos server.
