i'll get back to the previous part later, wehn i can test it (thanks petr!)

the flow as i see it is the following:
a .new host, with random password : has_password=True, has_keytab=False
b after succesful ipa-client-install : has_keytab=True, has_password=?
c. no succesful ipa-client-install: has_password=True, has_keytab=False

suppose i want to check which hosts have an old password, is should just 
check all nodes with has_password=True and fetch the date through ldap.
but if in case b the password is still set (has_password=True), how can 
i disable password access? or should i not worry about passwords when 
has_keytab=True?
