   I am installing the kerberos V4 p9 in our department and want to
know if it is possible to change the master database key.
I have tried to use the kdb_util to modify the key of K.M principle.
It seems that the master key is stored in this principle because I
can use the master key as the password to get the tgt. However,
after I modify the key of K.M, nither the old key nor the new one 
can be used as the master key.  Any suggestion?
