clients don't need keytabs, they have passwords.
clients don't need krb5.conf if you compile in some defaults for your
site and use DNS to locate the KDC and realm info.  This generally
doesn't work well because you don't get app defaults you want unless
you build custom versions, and if you're distributing custom software
you may as well distribute a krb5.conf
