Cool. Very cool. I have wanted this sort of thing...

Now, it would be cooler still if you could specify which Unix account
backend to use (files, nis, nisplus, ldap).

And with respect to pam_krb5, is your current approach still to make it
a sort of convenience kinit-in-PAM? Or can Solaris 9 really use Kerberos
V for user password authentication?
