I hacked away at kinit and proudly produced what i call kerblogin.

kerblogin basically is a secondary authentication program that can be used 
in tandem with the shadow suite to do secondary checking of user logins.

Once against the local (or nis databases) and second against the kerberos 
server.

One problem however :(

Since login runs as root, the kinit part runs as root and hence root gets 
$LOGNAME tickets after the person logs on.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

p.s. if anyone is interested in my changes, let me know and I will send 
them to you.. (only about 8 lines of source so far)
