ftpd and AFS tickets

[Nick M. Williams]

Simon's patches for OpenSSH use PAM. I believe the Solaris telnetd and
friends do as well, yes, even with kerberos-authenticated clients. The
key is to either not bother calling pam_authenticate() (the user *is*
authenticated already) or call it but use a PAM_SERVICE name configured
to just return PAM_SUCCESS immediately from pam_authenticate().

And the point of this is that kerberized network daemons can use
pam_setcred() to share a clients' credentials with interested
modules, such as AFS PAM modules, say. :)

Cheers,

Nico
