Is there a way to "convert" a MIT keytab format to what is needed for use by Heimdal?  Or the question should really be what is the correct way of dealing with a Heimdal client service script that needs automated "authentication" when our KDCs are all MIT based?

What do you mean by "extracted a user keytab"?  What symptoms indicate
that the Heimdal kinit client is not compatible with the keytab?
