What are you authenticating to what?  Clear-text passwords given to nnrpd
over the NNTP protocol against the KDC, or something else?  If the latter,
it should be very simple to start from ckpasswd in the authprogs directory
and modify it to try to obtain a TGT with the user's given password and
return success if that works.
