We've done that. The thing is, even when you've got everything set up
so it Just Works perfectly, users still manage to screw it up :-P
If you already have an active kerberos realm, you could create a group
account, and put the memebers of the group in the .k5login file. Then,
they'd login in with the group account uid and their kerberos credentials.
The downside is that you would no longer have individuals owning the files;
they'd all have the group account uid as the owner.
