If you configure the MIT-KDC to use the RPCSEC_GSS protocol,
you should be able to use the SEAM 'kadmin' client to create keys
and populate the keytab on the Solaris 8 client.

If you don't want to do that (or can't figure out how), you can create
the keys on the KDC (using the MIT kadmin client tool) and then transfer
them to the Solaris box via some secure protocol (such as SSH).

The main keys you need on the SEAM client system are the
"host" principals for the client system:
ex:    host/f.q.d.n at REALM

Also, if you want to use NFS with Solaris 8 SEAM you will
also need to create nfs/f.q.d.n principals as well and possibly
a "root/f.q.d.n" principal in order to use automount with secure
NFS file systems.  All of this is well documented in the SEAM
online documentation at docs.sun.com - look it up and search
for SEAM.

Remember - the only keys that need to be in a keytab are those
that are specific to that host.   One common misconception or
mistake that people make is to put keys in the keytab on host A
for services that only exist on other hosts.
