Kerberos error authenticating from Unix to Windows AD

I guess I should have been more clear.  I want to use my Windows AD
account to login to a Sun machine.  My krb5.conf is setup to use
des-cbc-crc, I created a host key on the Windows machine which is
mapped to a AD user acount for the Unixmachine.  The host key's
password is the same as the Unixmachine AD user account.  I copied the
key to the unix box via FTP, and used ktutil to merge the host key
into my keytab. I created a Unix user called testuser and a user on
the WIndows AD called testuser.  When I try and login o the unix
machine with testuser, I can see from the logs on the Windows server
that testser is granted a ticket, and just after that the service
ticket request fails, I am not even sure what a service ticket is. 
The time is only off by 30 seconds or so between the two machines.
ANy help would be appreciated.

thank you,

Tyson Oswald
