Seems I would create a kerberos keytab for the > principal and then use that to authenticate.... kinit supports > authenticating from a keytab using the -k -t <keytab-path> options, kinit works, but I think kstart [1] is commonly used for this as well; takes care of automatic ticket renewal. ktutil should be able to create a keytab based on your password, but I've had mixed luck with that.
