Possibly.  Or we could do the credentials-cache-backed-by-a-keytab idea.

I think it requires at least some thought, though.  Currently our GSSAPI
library only does TGS requests, not AS requests.  If it start doing AS
requests, then it becomes a consumer of the gic_opt framework and the
preauth framework, and there are some (probably manageable) implications
there.
