.SH DESCRIPTION
.I kpropd
of the KDC database file, the slave Kerberos server will have an
up-to-date KDC database.
.PP
+Normally, kpropd is invoked out of
+.I inetd(8).
+This is done by adding a
+line to the inetd.conf file which looks like this:
+
+kprop stream tcp nowait root /krb5/bin/kpropd kpropd
+
+However, kpropd can also run as a standalone deamon, if the
+.B \-S
+option is
+turned on. This is done for debugging purposes, or if for some reason
+the system administrator just doesn't want to run it out of
+.I inetd(8).
