    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.
