Question

I want to make a script that will generate the a keytab using ktutil. When running the script I want to use [user]$ script.sh PASSWORD

#script.sh
echo \"addent -         


        

Answer 1

A version in Python

https://github.com/Tagar/stuff/blob/master/keytab.py

piping password to ktutil in shell is not secure as password will be visible in list of processes.

Since this Python scripts just interacts with ktutil using pexpect library, it's possible to implement the same as a pure shell script using expect.

Hope this helps.
