I'm pleased that Cliff has the realm stuff working in the server.
I think it would be worthwhile to extend the .klogin notion, and make it
a bit more generic. Kerberos would provide a routine, "check_auth_type_1()"
that would specify a file name, and the name, instance, and realm of the
request. The routine would read and parse the named file, and either just
return True/False, or some arbitrary string tacked onto the end of the
entry.
This is only rally having kerberos provide the parsing, doing it once,
preferably correct, and re-using it in a general fashion for any other
application that so desires. Of course, there is no requirement to use this
routine or authorization scheme.
