	I'm missing seeing the correlation between service name and this
	example.

	In any case, I'm concerned that unless pam.conf is the default
	one delivered changing the other stacks, or cloning the other
	stacks for the -s specified services and adding pam_krb5.so.1
	optional or otherwise is a wise thing to do.

	I do believe that there's value in kclient being able to completely
	set up a kerberos client even (or especially) for sites with pam.conf
	changes in other areas.  That's why I seconded Darren's comments
	about using include.
