There a re a few projects that do password caching on Linux depending on what is your environment. The classic one I think pam_ccache, but if your KDC is a Windows AD server you can use winbindd which support offline logins (and caches users information too so it works also when LDAP is not available), then <shameless advertizing> there is also a project called SSSD I am working on </shameless advertizing> that aims at doing the same but for arbitrary authentication and identity sources, although it is still very young, and needs some maturing. I think we may be going a bit too OT for this list.
