This, unfortunately, is not your imagination: login.krb5 is
significantly under-functional. Kerberos 5 is an active development
project; that means we're still writing new code. Unfortunately, the
fact that we need to write new code implies there is essential
functionality missing from the product.
There are plans to deal with this, although I'm not sure how
soon. It almost certainly won't be in Beta-6.
