Comment (by geofft):

 If we're switching to SSSD anyway, we should consider letting SSSD sit in
 front of Kerberos too and cache passwords locally to defeat the Zanarotti
 attack on keytabless public cluster machines (this is the solution Windows
 has for the same attack against Active Directory, and also makes
 performance suck a little less).
