+This program used to be called gen_srvtab and was the backend used by the
+old sysctl-based srvtab distribution system. It can either load a key
+from a srvtab and push it into the AFS kaserver or generate a random key,
+push it into the AFS kaserver, and then write it out as a srvtab. It has
+a lot of strange issues (such as deleting and then recreating keys rather
+than changing the key and incrementing the kvno), but it works.
+
+This program only works with the AFS kaserver and requires the AFS
+libraries to compile.
+
+I haven't yet done the work to make compilation optional based on whether
+one wants to build kaserver support (or worked out how that will be
+configured in general). That's for later.
