Need help with ms2mit.exe

Jeff, Thanks, That worked. When I had tried the -c option I did not put
the FILE: in front of the path.

I am now running into an other problem. If I open a cygwin xterm window
and run kinit, I get the ticket. I am then able to ssh to any of the
servers with out being asked for a password. But when I run ms2mit and
then try to ssh, I am asked for a password. If I run klist I see a
valid ticket. It looks the same as the ticket I get after running
kinit. In the kdc.log on the kdc server, I get an error stating:
"<unknown client> for host/FQDN at REALM, No mathcing key in entry" The
other think that I have noticed when I do a klist is that after I do a
kinit and then ssh, the server I went to is in my ticket cache. But
after I run ms2mit and then ssh, the server is not added.

Thanks
Pat
