27 The B<kas create> command creates an entry in the Authentication Database
28 for the user named by the B<-name> argument.
30 To avoid having the account's initial password echo visibly at the shell
31 prompt, omit the B<-initial_password> argument; the command interpreter
32 prompts for the password and does not echo it visibly. Whether or not
33 B<-initial_password> is omitted, the Authentication Server converts the
34 password into a form suitable for use as an encryption key, and records it
35 in the entry's key field.
37 To alter settings in an Authentication Database entry, use the B<kas
38 setfields> command. To examine an entry, use the B<kas examine>
39 command. To list every entry in the database, use the B<kas list> command.
45 =item B<-name> <I<name of user>>
47 Names the new Authentication Database entry. Because it is the name under
48 which the user logs in, it must obey the restrictions that many operating
49 systems impose on user names (usually, to contain no more than eight
52 =item B<-initial_password> <I<initial password>>
54 Sets the user's password; provide a character string that can include
55 uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals and punctuation. The
56 Authentication Server scrambles the string into an octal string suitable
57 for use as an encryption key before placing it in the entry's key
58 field. If this argument is omitted, the command interpreter prompts for
59 the string and does not echo it visibly.
61 =item B<-admin_username> <I<admin principal>>
63 Specifies the user identity under which to authenticate with the
64 Authentication Server for execution of the command. For more details,
67 =item B<-password_for_admin> <I<admin password>>
69 Specifies the password of the command's issuer. If it is omitted (as
70 recommended), the B<kas> command interpreter prompts for it and does not
71 echo it visibly. For more details, see L<kas(8)>.
73 =item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
75 Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see
78 =item B<-servers> <I<authentication servers>>
80 Names each machine running an Authentication Server with which to
81 establish a connection. For more details, see L<kas(8)>.
85 Assigns the unprivileged identity C<anonymous> to the issuer. For more
86 details, see L<kas(8)>.

97 The following example shows the prompts that appear when an administrator
98 logged in as C<admin> creates an Authentication Database entry for the
99 user C<smith>, and does not include either the B<-initial_password> or
100 B<-password_for_admin> arguments.
105 Verifying, please re-enter initial_password:
