> kerberized /bin/login: didn't we have this at one point?

Yes, we have a login that will get tickets for you if you're in the
passwd file, but not one that will put you in the passwd file if
you're not there.

It's /etc/athena/login.krb, it was installed by the kerberos tree
because it's run by /etc/athena/rlogind, and it may or may not
currently be pointed to by /bin/login.

That is, I think it's safe to make /bin/login a symlink to
/etc/athena/login.krb.

Have a nice day.
-Sal.
