When a Linux machine joins an Active Directory's domain, a computer
account is created.

A network share can be configured to give rights to the computer account.

Can I use that account to mount the cifs share with the computer
account (with the keytab file)?

Almost every example on the internet is about using a user account or
using multiuser (which also uses a user account).

Thanks,

Bruno
