	Now I am confused.  The default delivered pam.conf(4) doesn't
	deliver account management, password or session entries for
	pam_krb5(5).  Are you saying these stacks are unnecessary and
	the pam_krb5(5) man page is incorrect?
	As I read kclient, I would have expected all I needed to correctly
	configure a service would have been -s <service>.
	If that's not the case, then it seems to me that either the
	pam_krb5(5) man page needs correction, or kclient needs to do more
	work, or the kclient man page needs to say -s only does part of the
	job and the admin must use $EDITOR to do the rest as described on
	the pam_krb5(5) man page.
