Unfortunately, no, at the moment that's the best way. (Or use multiple processes.) I'd actually thought about implementing an interface to take the extra input argument, because it would clean up how some of the KDC initialization works right now (which uses a private variant of krb5_init_context that only differs in that it adds the kdc.conf file to the normal list of config files). Do you want to propose and implement something along those lines? The [EMAIL PROTECTED] list would be the place for that discussion....
