Root login

[Austin Gonyou]

Hrm..that is strange. Did you replace login entirely with login.krb5(via
symlink or some such thing?) That could be part of the problem. If you
have pam_krb5.so, you should probably use that and configure pam to do
what you want, otherwise, I don't think it will be possible.
