Recommnended way to get krb5.keytab files for KfW installations on Windows

[Holger Rauch]

Hi,

since the kadmin utility is not included with the current KfW bundle
from the MIT Kerberos web site (version 3.2.2), is it "safe" to
create krb5.keytab files for KfW using kadmin on a Unix machine and
transfer the file to the Windows box?

(Yes, I heard about ktpass.exe, but that's kind of awkward to use
because of the username/principal mapping stuff that needs to be taken
into account. Or is ktpass.exe the recommended utility and the kadmin
on Unix+file transfer approach thus discouraged?)

I'm using KfW on a current (all updates applied) WinXP Professional
system.

So, what's the easiest (and recommended) way to get krb5.keytab files
that are usable by KfW installations?

(I need this for accessing a kerberized Samba server, a kerberized
sshd using PuTTY/WinSCP, and a kerberized FTP server; all of these
services are running on the same host).

Thanks for any hints & kind regards,

       Holger
