You don't seem to understand the way the Annex does kerberos password
checking. It passes the username and password (optionally encrypted,
I hope you have this enabled!) to the erpcd on the unix host, which
acquires the TGT on behalf of the Annex. So, they haven't actually
ported any of kerberos to their hardware.
I also don't see why the filesystem bit is relevant.
