Hello, out there!
Does anyone have a utility to add all users from the password file
into the Kerberos database with the same password? It should probably u
se
kdb_util dump and kdb_util load.
Please mail any responses directly to nero@eng.umd.edu. Thank you!

Sorry, it's not possible. The Kerberos database stores the actual DES
key, whereas /etc/passwd uses an irreversible transform based on the
typed password; there's no way to recover the DES key or the password
itself from the stored information.
