Do the samba client utilities even have the ability to use a keytab at
all? My understanding is that you must already have a TGT in order to
use them with krb5 auth.

In any case, the smbclient manpage doesn't list DOMAIN/user as valid
syntax for the -U option. I think you're expected to use -W to supply
a domain name.
