- No, you can't convert a password file entry to a kerberos key. The
formats are incompatible.

- The best solution is to try and capture the username/password
via a pam module or a specialized login and install this pair
in the kerberos database. I believe there is a pam module available
that does this already. Try searching for "pam kerberos" on
http://www.google.com/
