Is there a way to create an afs service principle and get the 
appropriate keytab files out of a Microsoft win2k KDC?
I am not in administration for the remote KDC, and don't have a 
user/admin principle on the MS KDC.

For example:

mccliman@oak:~$ /usr/sbin/kadmin -r TTU.EDU -p username@TTU.EDU
Authenticating as principal username@TTU.EDU with password.
Enter password:
kadmin: Databasetd: recv suboption NAWS 0 100 (100) 0 53 (53)e 
initializing kadmin interface

What other methods do I have to work with to get a working 
afs/my.cell.edu@WINDOWS.REALM.
Is there a way to generate a keytab/afskey based on the known password 
in the KDC for that principle?
