I can't find any reference in either MS-ADTS or MS-KILE regarding the salt used for for the different types of principals in the kerberos protocol.  (A salt is used as a confounded in string2key operations in
kerberos)

I know there are different salt calculations for users and computers, and presumably again for interdomain trust accounts. See:
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2004-November/037976.html

I asked about this in respect to domain trusts in August 2008, and received an informative reply, but I can't find the algorithm for user/machine accounts written down.  

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
