Cat k5adm.acl
fred/admin@RICHJAM.COM c fred/admin@RICHJAM.COM

Now "fred" can run the command:
kadmin -p  fred/admin@RICHJAM.COM -r RICHJAM.COM -q "cpw fred/admin"

This makes "fred" and "admin" user in the "RICHJAM.COM" realm but all
he can do with "kadmain" is change his own password. - see "man
kadmind".


PS - This is one way to get round the multiple-realms-on-same-system
"kpasswd" problem. But I dont think im going to use this solution.
Until there's a bug-fix, I think Im going to choose the option to
compile up a second version of kadmind.
