I would not recommend documenting this and distributing to external
parties.  Providing remote access to machines without keytabs
complicates an already complicated security model.  I can go through
the cases with anyone who s interested, but particularly because we
use pam_krb5 for su and sudo there are a lot of cases where this
definitely is not the functionality you want.
