Hmmm ... promising ... but ...
AUTH.CONF(5) FreeBSD File Formats Manual
AUTH.CONF(5)
NAME
auth.conf - authentication capability database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/auth.conf
DESCRIPTION
auth.conf contains various attributes important to the authentication
code, most notably kerberos(5) for the time being. This documentation
will be updated as the /etc/auth.conf file, which is very new, evolves.
SEE ALSO
auth_getval(3)
Doesn't tell me much. :-( And the auth.conf file is somewhat mysterious,
too:
#
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/auth.conf,v 1.4.2.1 2001/07/13 14:37:26 dd Exp $
#
# This file contains information on what types of authentication to use.
# It is just the beginnings of a greater scheme.
# crypt_default = md5 des
# auth_list = passwd kerberos
auth_list = passwd

maybe `man auth.conf` be of help
