Clear-text passwords passed to nnrpd.  The user knows nothing about Kerberos
as a backend and is running no special software; I just want to compare
the password with the one in the KDC.

Programming it isn't a big deal; I just wanted to save myself the time if
something is out there already.  :)  If it's new, I'll share what I come
up with.
