I'm of two minds about this.  I would like to see good integration
between Kerberos and base-system utilities, but we run MIT Kerberos,
not Heimdal, and such integration makes life enormously more
difficult.  Right now it's not much of an issue because we can build
everything that depends on Kerberos from ports, which saves a great
deal of version-skew hassle, but I can see further integration causing
problems for us.  I wouldn't want to have to use a port for OpenSSL,
for example, and thereby lose all of the value that we get from having
it integrated nicely with the operating system.
