Please read draft-ietf-cat-kerberos-passwords-02.txt, available from
ds.internic.net:/internet-drafts and mirrors therof. It covers a
complete design for generalized one-use-password handling in
Kerberos5, including two different S/Key modes (where the kdc knows
the 0th key and where it doesn't) and SNK/4 and SecureId modes. It is
quite enlightening (though it has a few holes, like specifying
checksums but not specifying what encoding of the fields is
checksummed...) Combining modes (in particular, the existing
time-stamp preauth) turns out to be useful.
