I've been doing some testing and I have a question in regards to the
pkinit preauth plugin, libpkcs11 and the resulting prompting behavior.
What I'm seeing is if the system is configured to try PKINIT in addition
to password timestamp, a user will be prompted for a PIN like so:

Sun Metaslot PIN: 

regardless of whether the user has a cert/key token in their PKCS11
objectstore or not.  This happens with both kinit and pam_krb5.  This
doesn't seem reasonable to prompt a user for a PIN in the case a token
containing a cert/key does not exist.  Thoughts?
