ksrvtgt is frequently used for a server that wishes to be a  client
and needs to authenticate to other services.  In particular it is used
in shell scripts (otherwise you could just call the right ticket
getting routines).  for example, you might have a cron job that runs
on a master server which pushes data out to slave sites in the middle
of the night.  The slaves only want to take updates from the master,
and both the master and slave s have srvtabs ...
