kinit sending clear text password

[melissa_benkyo]

hello folks, 

thanks for all the help. I wouldn't have make it here so far without
your help. :) thanks. Now I'm trying to use pam api's instead but the
thing is pam_krb5 seems to  be sending the password in clear text then
I tried to use kinit <username> and I was shocked to see the password.
(Am I a good hacker or what?) hehehe is it supposed to be like this?

thanks! thanks again for alllll the help. :) much much appreciated. :D
