The "net keytab" is a command that there has been an internal
request at HP for - thanks ! The ability to generate a "normal"
krb5 keytab from our secrets database is definately needed.

One thing I was told is that at least with W2K3 they key version
number is incremented by one on each machine password change,
I don't think we currently do this.
