 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.
