     login_krb5 - provide KerberosV authentication type

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     login_krb5 [-s service] [-v ignored] user [class]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The login_krb5 utility implements the KerberosV  authentication mechanism.
     It  is called by login(1), su(1), ftpd(8), and others to authenticate the
     user with KerberosV.

     The user argument is the user's name to be authenticated.

     The service argument specifies which protocol  to  use  with
the invoking
     program.   The  allowed  protocols are login, challenge, and
response.  (The
     challenge protocol is silently ignored but will report  success as KerberosV
 authentication is not challenge-response based).

     The ignored argument is ignored for compatibility with other
login
     scripts.

     login_krb5 will prompt the user for a  password  and  report
back to the invoking
  program  whether  or not the authentication was successful.
