   Jon,
   Why the condition that that the user didn't have a null key in the
   Kerberos database?

Opps, my mistake.  I meant to say,

	if you could privide your unix password *and* had a null key 

The major point here was that you couldn't change the key for a user
who was already registered with Kerberos.  It only worked for people
who weren't registered.
