For portability sake, I should mention that Solaris 8's pam_krb5 has
rather unique behavior.  pam_authenticate updates the ccache, and
pam_setcred with PAM_REINITIALIZE_CRED just dumps core.  This is just
the beginning of the troubles with pam_krb5 from Sun, though.  I will
try to refrain from off-topic rants about Sun's Kerberos code.
