Cold comfort indeed, perhaps, to have anyone pretending to do anything
effective in avoiding an unavoidable solution. ;)

"Dear Terry, we were here and we waited for you, but you didn't show up.  What
 happened?  Signed - Jordan & Mark"

This _was_ discussed in -current.  I raised the issue of disabling
things like kerberos authentication for kerberized binaries and
setting the default password time.  Discussion ensued.  Code was
thrown indiscriminately around.  Things evolved and Mark subsequently
committed the kerberos knob.  The password knob remains to follow.
