	That would indeed be a useful addition to kclient and IMO,
	a good way to implement -s.  Here is a preconfigured kerberos
	pam stack.  -s adds to the existing pam.conf
	<service> auth include		<preconfigured krb5 pam stack>
	<service> account include	<preconfigured krb5 pam stack>
	<service> session include	<preconfigured krb5 pam stack>
	<service> passwd include	<preconfigured krb5 pam stack>

	Sigh, don't give up yet.  Indeed Kerberos was one of the reasons
	for doing the include control flag.  Then you never have to screw
	around with i.pamconf.  Seems like a great win all the way around.

	Darren, thanks for the refreshing suggestion.  I'd even be happy
	to do the libpam backport should kclient -s be backported ;-)
