I just shared info with Turbo about how to get Kerberized SSHD doing
both password and Kerberos logins through PAM. Maybe he will give it to
you. If not, I'll be releasing a *step-by-step* guide how to get a
test-bed working with all the pieces you're talking about, and of course
welcome other docs as well. Hopefully within a week I'll have it
finalized for release, and help those as confused as I was about how
this *should* work.
