[Freeipa-users] Solaris 10 client auth (ssh + kerberos) not working

Hello folks,

I'm setting up an IPA-server instance aimed to be used primarily for 
Linux/Unix clients ssh authentication (with kerberos).
I've managed to successfully set up debian clients (via sssd and also on 
older debians, through libnss and pam_krb5). But for some reason I can't 
authenticate ssh on Solaris10 clients.
On the Solaris box, I've followed the steps outiined here:
http://www.freeipa.org/page/ConfiguringUnixClients
and the nss part works fine (things like getent [group | passwd] and id 
<user> work), but unfortunaltely, the ssh user authentication fails with 
an error:
sshd auth.error PAM-KRB5 (auth): krb5_verify_init_creds failed: No such 
file or directory

On the solaris clients, does there need to be a keytab in /etc/krb5/ 
directory copied over from the IPA server? (I didn't have to set up a 
keytab file fo the legacy debian clients, and in the solaris-clients doc 
previously mentioned, there's no mention of it). Well, since I read 
somewhere the keytab file need to be there, I copied it over from the 
IPA server to the solaris clients, Then I get a different error:
PAM-KRB5 (auth): krb5_verify_init_creds failed: Key table entry not found

This error seems to indicate that there isn't an matching entry found in 
the keytab file, so I added an entry for the solaris client, but I'm 
still getting the same 'Key table entry not found' error (it could be 
the entry I added is wrong, of course). But, for now, just want to be 
sure: On the solaris clients, do I need an /etc/krb5/krb5.keytab file?  
(if yes, why not in the non-sssd Debian hosts then?)

Thanks in advance,
