Thanks!

I just realized that a moment ago as well. Though, a
simple test w/ login.krb5 now pass after I figured out
that the problem was caused by modifications (which I
didn't notice) made by YaST console, which enabled
'kerberos client', in addition to my manual
configuration of krb5.

By the way, do you have some tutorial on how to
configure PAM support of mit kerberos authentication
for both console login and window-based login (kdm or
gdm), and SSH as well? Thanks a lot in advance!
