While fiddling with PAM, it came to my attention that the pam_krb5 module in some other (Linux?) PAM implementations supports, amongst other things, a minimum_uid option. This makes it possible to skip over Kerberos authentication for local system accounts, like so:
auth required pam_krb5.so no_warn minimum_uid=1000 auth required pam_unix.so no_warn try_first_pass I think it'd a nice addition to our pam_krb5 at least. I've attached an initial patch.
