Uhh, well, if your server was hacked you likely do not want to the use 
the old KeyFile and instead generate a new one.  You would need to add 
the updated key to all AFS servers in your cell and you should remove 
the old key as quickly as possible.

In thet past people have used something called the Kerberos 5 Migration 
Kit to go from AFS kaserver to Kerberos 5.  I'm not sure if that is 
still the recomended thing to do or not though.  I thought that at least 
MIT Kerberos 5 could read the older Kerberos db file from kaserver.
