I tried using login.krb but it doesn't take my kerberos password or my
unix password. If I want to use kerberos for all password validation,
do I have to do something special to login.krb and the "popper" that
came with version 4?

I assumed that these were ment to replace the unix equivalents and just
use the kerberos account database. Either this is not true or I have mussed
up my installation somewhere.
