Password-based principals are not affected.  No randomness is used in
generating those keys; the secure material is the password itself, which
is run through a hash algorithm.  Only randomly generated keys (generally
the keys you put into keytabs, but also randomized user principals if you
have any) are affected.

That looks right to me, although take that with a grain of salt since I
use MIT personally and am not that familiar with the Heimdal ktutil
command syntax.
