There have been a couple versions of the keytab file format; v1 was in  
native order, but v2 writes big-endian values.  (Mostly 16-bit values,  
though, I think, even for fields that are supposed to support 32-bit  
values -- and only 8 bits for the key version number, which will  
likely become a serious problem at some point.)
