	I am trying to figure out how to "correctly" kerberize xlock. I
have sources and would like to replace the authentication via

    pw = getpwnam(cuserid(NULL));
    strcpy(userpass, pw->pw_passwd);

...

	done = !((strcmp(crypt(buffer, userpass), userpass))
	       && (!allowroot || strcmp(crypt(buffer, rootpass), rootpass)));



etc. with the appropriate kerberized login verification. I have looked at the
sources to login and rlogin and think I should be able to use login to
authenticate this via appropriate calls but how? I don't mind writing the
code but I am new to kerberos and #1 don't want to open a hole or
#2 re-invent the wheel :-)  If any of you have done this, please let me know
or else I will press onward as time permits and eventually (if successful)
post the finished sources or something . . .


Thanks

Jim
