I understand that Mit's login.krb5 is broken...

Here is what I would like to do.. (maybe in the upcoming versions)

Or if it can be done now, please let me know..

Is there a file that I can modify in the krb libs that specifies how to
check for and against the kerberos principle??

what I would like to do is such..

Any connection that is made to the machine the /etc/passwd file is scanned
for the username you enter. IF, your username contains a ##VALUE in the
passwd section I would like all programs to authenticate you using the
kerberos principle +VALUE+.

IF the password section is marked with an 'x', I would like it to fall
back upon the shadow file for checking your password and authenticating
you.

Is this possible??

Any pointers?? Thanx!!

Tom
