Tru64 SIA authentication: can it be called after kerberos?

Hi All.
	There have recently (well, today :-) been changes to OpenSSH Portable's 
auth-passwd.c from OpenBSD to accomodate forced changes of expired 
passwords.  (Rabid password expirers shoulon't get excited yet, it's 
currently bsdauth only, but support for other platforms should start 
trickling in shortly).

	As part of that, some individual platforms have gained their own 
sys_auth_passwd functions.  One that hasn't yet is SIA, because it would 
mean changing its behaviour to be called *after* Kerberos.

	Could someone confirm that this change (the patch attached) will work 
with SIA, or explain why it can't be called after Kerberos?  (The patch 
will apply to snapshot 20040206 or later.)

	The next step is to banish the sys_auth_passwd functions to their 
respective platform files, which should clean things up somewhat.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
