Thats *really* what I'd like to do... actually keep Kerberos as my
authoritative source for password data, I was hoping there might have
been a saslauthd plugin that I may have missed to proxy passwords back
to ldap as well, or maybe some other step that I'd missed in my research.

We took a look at
Freeipa.org but it didn't seem to as good a fit for us
especially since we wanted to keep Kerberos as our password store. If I
can get simple binds to work through pam for those applications that
don't support GSS/SASL that would be a huge win!
Out of curiosity, was there any reason for proxing though pam rather
then something like saslauthd?
The people who wanted this feature didn't want the overhead of an
additional server daemon (saslauthd). They already had a pam stack that
did kerberos auth and they just wanted Fedora DS to use that - pam passthru.
Thanks again!
