 Description   

I would like to add one of those special boxes that either warn the user or mark an important note to our Kerberos documentation. This would affect our Configure MongoDB with Kerberos Authentication on Linux page.

In the Prerequisites section, we assume the client has "a valid keytab file for each mongod and mongos instance". This currently corresponds to lines 29 and 30 in the master branch.

I purpose adding a box after this snippet that says:

We recommend using Ktpass to generate the keytab when using Windows Active Directory.

In our overview page on Kerberos, we already mention Ktpass. I would like to make it clear in our tutorial as well. This change would apply to all versions of MongoDB that have this page.
