root login

[Austin Gonyou]

I would think that is possible, though probably unsupported by krbdev.
(imho)

There would be some need to check the UID of the user logging in(a
possible attack scenario) and then perform a passwd/shadow based login
for that user. It should be possible, but I'm not sure what that does to
the integrity of the login.
