help with login needed

I have set up a krb5 client and I can successfully kinit to the server and 
receive a TGT.  I would like to do this at initial login, but it fails.

The system is RH 7.2 linux.
In /etc/pam.d/login I have this line, and the pam_krb5 package is installed.

auth    required        /lib/security/pam_krb5.so use_first_pass

When I log out I cannot log back in, unless I drop to single user mode 
and comment out the above line.  My uid is the same as on the server, 
but the passwords are not.  It doesn't matter which passw I use.

I have not done a kadmin -> ktadd for a keytab file.  I do not have rights 
to do so.  Is this my downfall?  I take it, in order to use /etc/login I 
must ktadd each host?

Can I somehow just kinit and enter my krb5 passw to recieve a TGT?

Thanks for any help.
