Passwordless access to kadmin?

[Bryan K. Wright]

Hi folks,

	I'm new to kerberos, and I'm trying to figure out how
to invoke kadmin from a web-based script, without prompting for
the root/admin password.  (FWIW, this is part of an account-
migration scheme.  Users will authenticate with their NIS 
credentials, then the script will create a kerberos principal
for them.)

	I realize that I could just use "kadmin -w" and stick
the password in plaintext into the script, but I'd rather not
have to do that.  Is there a more secure way to do this?

					Thanks in advance,
					Bryan
