Mr. Someone  :)

As the previous response suggested - use standard /bin/login program but 
configure
PAM so that pam_krb5 is the default authentication module for login.
If you are unfamiliar with PAM, try 'man pam' (on Linux or Solaris).
This will provide you with alot more flexibility and still meet your 
requirement
to have users authenticate with Kerberos.
