=head1 DESCRIPTION
-The kas create command creates an entry in the Authentication
-Database for the user named by the B<-name> argument.
+The B<kas create> command creates an entry in the Authentication Database
+for the user named by the B<-name> argument.
-To avoid having the account's initial password echo visibly at the
-shell prompt, omit the B<-initial_password> argument; the command
-interpreter prompts for the password and does not echo it visibly.
-Whether or not B<-initial_password> is omitted, the Authentication
-Server converts the password into a form suitable for use as an encryption
-key, and records it in the entry's key field.

-B<kas list> command.
