The pam-krb5 allows applications to authenticate against a Kerberos
server. For example, ssh may accept a username and password and then
authenticate the user against a Kerberos server instead of /etc/passwd.
This is very useful when paired with an LDAP-based NSS system.
Note that the Mac OS X graphical login supports Kerberos out of the box.
However, other services, such as ssh, authenticate using PAM and require
pam-krb5.
This port links /opt/local/lib/pam/pam-krb5 to /usr/lib/pam/pam-krb5,
because this is when the Mac OS X PAM system expects to find its modules.
