.k5login and wildcard

Hi !

I have a number of servers witch runs a number of applications. Each
application has it's own user account. Some applications are distrubuted
over a number of servers.

Today each person has its own user accont and uses ksu to change id to
an application account.

My problem is that the number of persons needing access to the 
application
accounts increeses and I found myself editing a large number of 
.k5login files.

What I'm hoped to do was a .k5login file with a wildcard.
ex ~application_zz/.k5login:
superadmin at XX.YY
*/application_zz at XX.YY

and for each application_zz administrator add an 
username/application_zz at XX.YY princepal.

I have found out that the wildcard in the .k5login file isn't working. 
Is there a
workaround or a patch to use wildcard's in the .k5login file?

Regards,
Dan Karlsson
