One thing Athena did when faced with this problem, is to hack the
admin server (an old version) to accept the unix password, so if you
could provide your unix password *and* didn't had a null key in the
Kerberos database, you could set one. This was a bit marginal (since
there was no true secure path to the admin server, but it was a
comprimise). Because of the student turnover, before long all new
students were registered the proper way.
