Hi Glenn,

Yes, as I recall, there was.

We were making an effort to match the options in the config file with
those used by Heimdal where possible.

For the "-X" preauth options, Sam did not want them to be
pkinit-specific since they could possibly be used with other preauth
methods in the future.

K.C.
