Now that we have Kerberos authentication, I don't want to rip out the PAM
support, since non-Kerberos enabled sites should be to use EFS.

But, given the ugliness and complexity of the password caching code, and the
fact that every last security expert won't like it (and we don't have much
grounds to argue with them), why not just trash it?

IOW, you'll still be able to authenticate password in efsd via PAM, but the
client will require you to submit the password every time, instead of
caching it (or attempting to) in ~/.efsconfig.

Thoughts?
