Someone on the skey-users mailing list pointed out that telnetting to
net-dist.mit.edu and hitting return at the password prompt gets an "ECHO ON
for s/key password" prompt.  

Does this mean someone's working on adding support for s/key authentication to
Kerberos?  I've been rolling the idea around in my head, but I have some
trouble conceptualizing how such a system would work.  

Is this really being worked on?

If so, will it maybe make it to the next beta?
