Keytabs aren't byte order independent?  So if a sysadmin creates a keytab for me on a machine 
with a different endianness from mine do I have to do something to it for it to work?

Also this bug seems to be specifically about wanting a stash file to be a keytab.  Machine 
independence is listed as just one of the side benefits of doing this.
