I have multiple systems and jails at my home. I would very much like to implement a single sign on strategy with kerberos. I think it's safer than having private keys on every single box. I can easily do this for shh user logins to multiple boxes. But I like to sign in as a user and then su to root when I get there. (Forget about sudo, I am administering these boxes and don't want to type sudo for every single command, it's not a user machine). From what I understand of Kerberos I would need change identity and type a password every time I ksu which is what I'm trying to avoid. Am I right that it is imposable to maintain multiple simultaneous credentials and get the right one to automatically be used?
