Why not have knetd do the rd_ap_req, and just send the authentication
information to the subprocess via argv? This would keep the individual
programs from calling Kerberos, or even require them to run as root
(although some of the services need it for other reasons).
I don't see the use of using knetd if all it does is demultiplexing
different kerberos protocols. That's what inetd for.
