Already found that.  :)

I'm still a bit confused about PAM though.  While it is possible to do
what kinit does and verify a password, the real reason we like kerberos is
because we don't have to enter passwords; we get a ticket and the server
verifies that the ticket is valid.  How exactly does this fit in the PAM
model?
