I'm not sure if I understood your question correctly, but if you're
referring to let a PAM-enabled login program log in through Kerberos and
store the credentials so that the user may use them, then it's the
pam_krb5 module that you want to look at.
If you're referring to writing a program that uses PAM to authenticate
users, and you already have pam_krb5 installed and then want to store
the credentials locally, then it is the pam_setcred function you want to
look at.
If none of those match your scenario, I'll have to ask you to clarify
your question a bit.
Hope it helps,
Fredrik Tolf
