I think it would be worthwhile to extend the .klogin notion, and make it
a bit more generic. Kerberos would provide a routine, "check_auth_type_1()"
that would specify a file name, and the name, instance, and realm of the
request. The routine would read and parse the named file, and either just
return True/False, or some arbitrary string tacked onto the end of the
entry.
Isn't this what we defined an-to_ln to do? Of course, this routine
would read a single file for the entire systems instead of individual
files in a users drectory. Also, the file reading functionality is
not yet implemented. Anyway, I am not going to concern myself with
this issue until I am out in WA. I have too much to do in the next 2
days as it is.
