Why not do it right, and not require the password to be typed at
all?  The local machine could request tickets, which could be sent
over encrypted to the remote machine.  This would require a change
to kerberos, so that one machine can request tickets that would
be good for another machine.  Of course, the lifetime couldn't
exceed the lifetime of the original tickets.
