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. Mike
